After much discussion of Mackenzie Mgbako and his commitment to the Indiana Hoosiers, how does he fit within Mike Woodson's offense? While his offensive skillset has been discussed between his shooting and athleticism, can he hang defensively as well?
On today's episode of Locked on Hoosiers, Jacob Rude (@JacobRude) dives deeper into Mgbako's fit with the Hoosiers. With his speed and quickness, he'll be able to beat players off the dribble, something that should help him fit in IU's new-look offense.
His shooting has also been a discussed part of his game and while he can shoot the ball from range, he wasn't all that efficient in high school. If Indiana can adjust his shot profile, perhaps he could find more success in Bloomington.
The show wraps by looking at his defensive impact. His size and speed will make him a matchup problem in a good way for the Hoosiers, something they haven't had in recent years.
