If you’ve read or heard anything about Indiana men’s basketball’s game, really in the past few years but a bit amplified this offseason, floor spacing has probably been front of mind.
The Hoosiers haven’t exactly boasted a ton of reliable 3-point shooters in recent years and have relied on Trayce Jackson-Davis in the post since he arrived in 2019. Add in Race Thompson, a guy who really only made a living in a paint with a few attempts from the arc under Mike Woodson, and you have an interesting issue.
Teams had to keep an eye on Miller Kopp for the past two years, he’d leverage Jackson-Davis’ presence or Xavier Johnson’s driving ability to find an open look on the arc.
