1) They do not have superior quickness. 2) TJD can’t shoot outside of 15 feet.
Of the five starting positions, Indiana has a quickness advantage at one spot; the 5. Trayce is hyper-quick near the basket; that's the talent that's made him a success. And agreed, the odds of either team's post position star shooting a 15 ft+ jumper is very low. Race has come around shooting threes the last few games.
I'd also call the pg quickness a wash - Xavier Johnson is a strong, quick burst player, though sometimes as has been said here, he loses control.
Kopp and Stewart start as catch and shoot guys and are really slow. Galloway, Bates, and Geronimo play a least as many minutes as those two and are much more athletic. Phinisee is one of our best defenders and is out injured. Lander will be the backup pg. Very quick and slick on offense, but a terrible defender.
