He has to be the quietest super star big ten player of the year out there. Been watching him for years now. He quietly gets his double double every game. But man he is soft. The quietest 19 and 10 type of player you ever see. Disappears in games and doesn’t assert himself. A stat sheet stuffer, not a player of The year, IMO.

He can’t shoot at all, which limits him. If he had the ability to post, pivot to face up, jab step and hit 10-15 footer he’d be unstoppable.
Like most of the IU roster we just absolutely bully him. Started with Myles and now Cliff. I remember TJD getting benched as a freshman at the RAC.
Whether it be gameplan/personnel/mental we own these guys. Same result every year

Caleb and Mag and company played the best defense on TJD. Made life miserable on Xavier Johnson. When you are mowing the lawn and you run in to a nest of bees you stop mowing the lawn.
TJD is a very strong defender in the post, but yeah, he seems to disappear on offense against us. Myles was way too physical for him. I felt he did better against us on O once Myles transferred. But the revised game plan tonight wiped out his O again. Didn't even see a FG go through the hoop in the first half when Cliff only played four minutes.
He is 0-6 versus Rutgers. And fouled out last night for the first time in his career. Rutgers basketball will love in his nightmares forever
We were tripling him every time he touched the ball, when he kicked it out they couldn’t hit their shots. Cliff picked up 2 early fouls trying to guard him and had to leave them game. Credit Pike with a great plan to defend him.
He sure doesn’t seem to enjoy playing and it’s not only at the RAC.
He plays with a concerned look on his face the whole game. Tough to look at your leader and see that. Does not instill confidence.
I agree...doesn't look like the game is fun for him at all.
Noticed that watching last night. He’s constantly pouting on the court. I would lose my mind if I was an Indiana fan and had to watch him play with that look on his face every game
