Matt Painter has had a lot of great players at Purdue. Standouts include Ivey, Carsen Edwards, and Swanigan, just in the last few years. In terms of NBA potential, Ivey is clearly Painter’s top prospect, but on a college level I thought that Swanigan and Edwards (and maybe even JaJuan Johnson) were better. Question is whether Edey is best yet. It’s hard to compare Carsen, but Swanigan played the same position and was an All American with monster stats.
From what I have seen this season, I would clearly take Edey. I feel like he is more dominant, particularly on defense, but really on both ends of the court.
