Indiana Basketball: Points of improvement for each returning player

The 2020-2021 season has the potential to be the most exciting season in Archie Miller’s tenure as head coach of the Indiana basketball program.

With only two senior departures, Indiana basketball is returning all of its regular starters and is adding new talent, including in-state freshmen Anthony Leal and Trey Galloway and the high-upside New Englander Jordan Geronimo.

Additionally, the possibility is still open for class of 2021 five-star point guard Khristian Lander to reclassify and join the team in 2020.

There’s a lot to look forward to next season, which results in higher expectations for the Hoosiers. In order for them to threaten for a top-five spot in the Big Ten, of higher, the returning players on the roster will need to get better. Justin Smith, Al Durham and Joey Brunk will be the three seniors leaders on the team.

Former top 50 high school players Trayce Jackson-Davis and Jerome Hunter have the chance to blossom over the summer. Jackson-Davis has the chance to take the next step towards stardom, and Hunter has the chance to have his first fully healthy offseason.

With all of these exciting players returning to Bloomington next year, we are going to take a look at what skill each rotation player on the roster needs to improve or develop during the offseason to come back and help meet the higher expectations for next season.
