.IndianaMBB has seen a different Logan Duncomb since the end of the summer, and his teammates have been particularly impressed by his transformation. iubb
BLOOMINGTON — Race Thompson didn't disclose the exact circumstances of the moment when he realized he had to takeseriously, whether he was posting up with his back to the basket or trying to box out for a rebound, but he does remember the substantial shove to his back.
That was just fine for them in practice and they had other teammates who could give them more resistance in forward Jordan Geronimo and center Michael Durr, but the Hoosiers essentially got nothing from Duncomb in games in 2021-22. The four-star recruit played a grand total of 19 minutes in just nine appearances. No other scholarship player on the roster played fewer than 118. He never played more than four minutes in a single game or more than two minutes in a Big Ten game.
The idea that Duncomb would get on the floor as a sophomore certainly didn't seem to be a far-fetched idea when he was recruited. He was an all-around big man at Archbishop Moeller High School in Cincinnati, averaging 13.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 blocks per game as a senior and helping Moeller to an Ohio state championship as a sophomore. He was the No. 73-rated player in the Class of 2021 and the No. 12-rated center.
Duncomb's physical issues just added to the feeling he was swimming. He could barely provide any resistance to Jackson-Davis, who was in the midst of his third straight All-Big Ten season and trying to make a case to pro scouts he belonged in the NBA. So physical issues became confidence issues, as Duncomb started to lose confidence.
"He really locked in this summer and focused on his body," Thompson said."He took the weight room seriously and he took the protein shakes seriously, took putting on that weight seriously. He knows that he can hold his own and it's only up from here for him." In practice, that's created production in a number of different areas, which has given Jackson-Davis trust that Duncomb can give the Hoosiers minutes at the 5. That's important because with Durr having transferred to Central Florida, the Hoosiers don't have a true backup center.
