The main senior for this year is obviously White. But I'd like to see JO be an offensive spark off the bench. There are games, like you mention, when he can carry the team to a W. This especially might be true if he isn't the only dangerous 3pt threat on the floor for Iowa and so isn't guarded too heavily.He has done it a few times, the first might have been at Indiana his freshman year when he made 7 of 9 including 5 threes. He is a threat to go off any time. I think he needs to shoot if he is open as soon as he gets the ball. This might be his year. Jaryd Cole, Matt Gatens and Eric May had excellent senior seasons. It is Josh's turn.....
He needs to shoot without a conscience.....
You are correct, Uncle, Aaron gets lost in the conversations a lot of the time, but he is essential, and I think if he plays the 4 position, with room to operate, he will be as dangerous as anyone on the team. He wasn't quite himself last season, which I am glad is over. I really can't wait to see the new recruits play in the PTL. I am going with my son this year, camping in a tent outside IC.....
I'd like to think White could.... I just have a feeling he's peaked. Hope I'm wrong. I don't see his shot changing much or his confidence enough in it to take it more. I think he'll have some monster games. Don't get me wrong. But I think he'll have some 8-10 pt games like he's had and Marble had this yr that will frustrate us. I doubt he'll take the leap to where he's averaging 16, 17 plus like many of us think he should. I think this team will need him to average 17 plus to have a good year. His biggest asset is getting to the line. I want to see that gangly guy going to the basket every time. In the open court or half court. That's what he's good at and trying to fit a square peg into a round hole and make him a spot up shooter when he really hasn't improved alot at it the previous 3 years is asking alot.
Hey Jack, you need to jump over to HR quick. Herby is over there looking for someone to give him updates and per game star ratings from PTL...
White is likely to be THE senior on the 2014 squad. But he's not going to become a different player. I think he'll blossom as a rebounder at PF. Plus, his shot and post game will improve a little, just because of his work ethic. Those combined changes and RDM's departure will be enough to get him to 15 and 8 I'm guessing. If he improved a lot in one of those areas he could get to 17 per but that's unlikely.
