Indiana Basketball: Breaking down Hoosiers’ current 2020 signees
By Alec Lasley
Trey Galloway (The Culver Academies/SG)
Like Leal, Galloway is another one of these extremely competitive and physical guards who take pride in out working his opponent. In between all of his hard work, he is also a very athletic guard with a lot of versatility in his game.
At 6-foot-4, Galloway’s physicality will allow him to guard multiple positions on the defensive end. His size and frame will allow him to matchup with bigger wings, but also not be overpowered if they take him into the post. One part of his defensive game that Miller will love is his lateral quickness. He will be able to hedge or jump a screen and force the ball handler to change direction multiple times.
With his defense being the best part of his game, he is no slouch on offense. Always in attack mode, Galloway is a head of steam in transition, using his explosiveness to finish at and above the rim.
Though he played more of a wing early in his career, Galloway can be a very serviceable point guard at the college level. With a great feel for the court and good vision, he is very talented off of pick-and-roll action, something you could really utilize with a projected sophomore Trayce Jackson-Davis.
Whereas Galloway struggled in his high school season to shoot the three, only 27 percent, and from the free throw line, 58 percent, part of that could be attributed to a wrist injury he dealt with for most of the season. In AAU however, he blew up and shot 43 percent from three in the 17 game season.
Galloway will be a huge help to whomever is the main ball handler throughout his career, and like Durham is so far this year, don’t be surprised come Galloway’s junior and senior seasons if he isn’t a main ball handler for Archie Miller.
