Jackson-Davis (32 games): 13.5 ppg, 8.4 rpg, 1.2 apg, 56.6 FG% in 29.4 minutes per game.
It didn’t take long for Trayce Jackson-Davis to show that he was going to be the best and most important player on Indiana’s roster.
In seven of Indiana’s first eight games, Jackson-Davis scored in double figures, recording four double-doubles in that stretch as well. He also had two or more blocks in six of those eight games, and IU came out victorious in each game.
Coming into the season, the depth of the frontcourt was a strong talking point with this Hoosier team, wondering how Jackson-Davis would fit in with players like Joey Brunk, De’Ron Davis, Race Thompson and Justin Smith.
