Got to see Indiana. So gonna go homer here. But I SAW this---didn't hear it. Indiana's going to be much better than what folks think---including me. Woodson is sharp. Knows the game. Does that mean he can "coach", make proper adjustments, substitutions, etc, etc..? I dunno. But I do know he clearly knows what the **** he's doing---63 or not. IU is very physical. Especially Xavier Johnson. See's the floor exremely well. Seemed really comfortable----and not much "playground" going on. Stewart, again its a practice/scrimmage----can shoot the basketball. And from deep. Tamar Bates is going to be one of the Top 5 frosh in the conference. Extremely fast, athletic, and get score from anywhere. He's going to be fun. Reminded me a ton of Creek/Wright. TJD is who he is. Shot form looks better. Spent a ton of time, off to the side, shooting 10-15 footers. Didn't pay to much attention on makes/misses.
I like the trio of Stewart/JOhnson/TJD. Kopp I think will be somewhat of a liability on defense...Probably. But I watched him hit something like 8 or 9 three's in a row.....
Offense is night and day. Built for playmakers to be playmakers....Shooters. Its designed for TJD, and with how they spread it out, its gonna give a ton of room to operate. If Stewart, Kopp, Bates can shoot a decent percentage, Indiana is going to be very hard too defend. Offense is Very loose---but very controlled.
With that being said----IU will now finish 10th.
