Yes, Phinessee is going to be a nice player. He will be a starter on a BIG team, so that validates some of this noise I read here. I think there are maybe 4-6 better point guards in the BiG, so I figure him to be roughly an average PG. now that's not bad, but it is not going to propel IU into contention. To some degree, some of the IU trolls here are just attempting to turn a Purdue related thread into one about IU just to screw with us, under the pretext of having a "basketball discussion". I am done with the topic of Phinny and IU in this thread.
Besides, the OP and topic of this thread is Brandon Newman, who will be at best, an average BIG wing his freshman year. That speaks volumes for how good he will be at the end of the year, and going forward. He might even lead the team in scoring his sophomore year. He is one player I am really looking forward to seeing.
