When Ike Anigbogu debuted with the Mad Ants, the majority of his field goal attempts were post-ups, many of which highlighted his clunky footwork and continued reliance on simple hook shots while appearing as though he was trapped inside an invisible box. By his final appearance with Indiana’s affiliate, the 19-year-old was still getting touches on the block, but there was also more of an emphasis placed on developing his hands to catch drop passes.
“We keep preaching to Ike about getting into space, getting to the dunker, those two hashes on the baseline,” head coach Steve Gansey told The Journal Gazette’s Justin Cohn.
