Heide and Colvin are what they are. They can jump high and sometimes grab some nice boards, but not often. Heide gets to the hoop and makes an awesome dunk, but not often. They both can shoot threes, Colvin seems more streaky, Heide more consistent, but they are mostly catch and shoot. Neither has the handles to get their own shot and they aren’t miraculously going to improve their handles during the season. They can’t dribble through a press. They are Purdues “athletes “. Look across the floor at Auburn. Athletes with superior quickness, can shoot , dribble, get to the hoop, block your shot and go coast to coast. Guards that are six-six,six-seven doing this, quicker than Braden. They bring a six-one guard off the bench who scores 18 off the bench when it counted. Fluke? No, he scored 20 vs Duke. They probably had 6 or 7 guys more “athletic “ than Colvin and Heide, and they were also skilled too. Painter values skilled. I think Purdue needs one of these type players next year to go far.
