[IUFR] A Look at Every Mackenzie Mgbako Offensive Possession at Illinois

Is Indiana utilizing Mackenzie Mgbako as optimally as they should?

As Indiana squared off against Illinois earlier this afternoon, I caught myself being drawn to watching Mackenzie Mgbako on the offensive end.

I wanted to see how Mike Woodson & Co. were moving Mgbako around to create advantages for Indiana’s offense.

After all, Mgbako is arguably the best freshman in the conference and has an offensive skillset that nobody else on the Hoosiers can mimic.

Mgbako has been turning the corner offensively and has put up consistent enough effort night in and night out to be comfortable with his production.

But watching today, I kept earmarking possessions in the game where I was left going, ‘well, Mgbako didn’t move that entire possession.’

So, I clipped every half-court offensive possession Mgbako played today so you can judge for yourself.

It’s a bit of a longer clip, just over 10 minutes, but I think it’s worth watching.
