SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Darian DeVries wasn’t worried. He had seen Lamar Wilkerson light it up too many times over the last eight weeks to doubt what was coming next.
Even after a rough shooting night, the first-year Indiana coach knew his senior guard would bounce back.
Wilkerson shot just 3-for-13 from three in Indiana’s first exhibition on Wednesday. But DeVries remained confident.
“I kind of like the fact that he struggled shooting in an exhibition game, because he doesn’t struggle very often,” DeVries said. “He’s one of those guys that I don’t care if he goes 2-for-20, because that means he’s going to go 18-for-20 some night.
