For the second time this season, IU basketball opened its doors to the media for practice in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall on Tuesday afternoon.
The team practiced McCracken Court branch, with nine stock market players who participate. Nick Dorn, who recovers from foot surgery, has not done any exercises with contact.
The players who did not participate because of an injury: Aleksa Ristic, Josh Harris and Jason Drake. Jasai Miles was sick and did not go to the training.
Here is an overview with different collection restaurants of the 90 -minute exercise, along with some observations about each player.
An overview of the practice
On separate ends of the floor-the one under the guidance of Darian Devries and the other with assistants, Adams, Kenny Johnson and Rod Clark-De Hoosiers started the afternoon with Walk-throughs of different attacking sets.
That included half judicial sets and also baseline outside the borders. None of the action was at a game speed, but it was clearly scripted and a timer kept everything on schedule.
After the Walk-through were completed, music played in Assembly Hall and strength and conditioning coach Ryan Horn the team through a warm-up routine.
Drake participated for parts of stretching, while Harris and Ristic did not do.
The intensity was picked up quickly when the focus shifted to the defense. A quick exercise emphasized the stopping fitting for back door cuts followed by a Shell drill Timed for 15 seconds repetitions.
Next was the work on transitional defense. In a timed drill of 20 seconds, the scout team went the length of the floor in an attempt to score. In the four repetitions of that specific exercise, the defense earned stops three times.
The focus then went to Ball Screen Offense, with 2-on-2 work designed to make various lectures of ball screen situations. Dorn was a participant in this exercise and his defender avoided contact. On one representative, Conor Enright Trent Sisley with a perfect pass found a role for a dunk.
The action shifted to the south side of the assembly hall for the next exercise, a very competitive 2-on-2 situational exercise in which the action did not stop unless the attack scored or defended a stop. In one series, first -year student Andrej Acimovic got a defensive stop against Reed Bailey, which attracted applause from teammates.
In the next exercise, 5-on-5 in the Half Court, Lamar Wilkerson left 3-Pointers on the first two possessions, polluted to the edge on the third and then scored on the edge on the fourth. The Crimson Team – including Conor Enright, Trent Sisley, Reed Bailey, Sam Alexis and Tayton Conerway – did not stop until their sixth defensive property.
From there, the work continued in the Half Court with stock market players in Karmozijnrode sweaters against the exploring team in Cream Jerseys. Acimovic collaborated with the exploring team for this exercise when the Crimson team consisted of Tucker Devries, Enright, Conerway, Wilkerson, Sisley, Bailey and Alexis, with two players who turn in and out.
It is clear by looking at two exercises this season outside the season that will emphasize the IU’s attack on floor distance, ball movement, moving without the ball, 3-point shooting and putting pressure on the defense by getting the ball in the paint.
After the Crimson team had beaten the cream -colored team with countless scores in the half -court, Devries moved the stock market players to the defensive side of the ball. “Let’s stop, let’s stop,” Devries instructed.
In the first five possessions with the Crimson Team in defense, the Scout team scored three times, making the Crimson team at stake to run.
On various occasions, Devries stopped to tell his team to get in the ball and the intensity was picked up considerably. To put an end to the practice, a short full judicial scrimmage found maybe a look at what fans can expect on Friday evening.
Player Observations
Charm: His release is efficient and almost always looks like it is going inside. He probably doesn’t get enough credit for his passing skills and selflessness and he almost always makes the right reading. Devries becomes one of the most productive players of IU and a team leader.
Bailey: The Davidson transfer treats the ball like a guard. Although he is not the most physical player in the paint, he will cause matchup problems for some opponents because he can pull away defenders from the edge and be a very good passer.
Wilkerson: Wilkerson is the most talented scorer on the Roster and it is not very close. Wilkerson can stroke the 3-Pointer, thrives in the midrange and is also strong enough to end on the edge. Wilkerson comes on the floor on the floor and puts ruthless pressure on the defense.
Conerway: Conerway made a 3-Pointer early in the short scrimmage at the end of the training, does a good job to get the ball in the paint and is a willing passer-by. The most important thing is that he leads the IU defense and is a very good for Bal defender.
Absolutely: Enright is a scourge, even with his teammates in practice. He offers constant energy, is a communicator and knows where he should be at all times.
Sisley: The product of Montverde Academy does not look like a first -year student. He is extremely active at both ends, had several attacking rebounds and putback buckets and seems to be in the position to be firm in the rotation.
Acimovic: The Bosnian born first -year student is probably a year away from contributions. He showed a soft touch on the edge and had a few good steps, but will have to become stronger to compete in the paint in the Big ten.
Dorn: Dorn almost seems to return to the floor, although he has not given a solid timeline when he will be in the open media availability for practice. He shot the ball well in exercises and has an excellent size for a wing scorer. If he is healthy, he will be a plus.
Alexis: The transfer of Florida is the most physical player who has the Hoisiers in the paint. He is a strong finisher, above average rebounder and can shoot the ball out of the midrange. He may not start with the five, but he will play enough minutes because he is the best interior defender and rebounder on the Roster.
