This.
I blocked bigelow months ago and the responses alone tell me I made a superb decision!
DJ hasn’t been setting effective picks, getting pushed around. Burgess is definitely capable of playing more physical. Burgess picks are better but Berg sets best picks by far. I know this is not likely to happen and might not be a common opinion but of the two DJ would benefit more from a red shirt this year
I try not to block anyone unless they use foul language or crude name calling.
You are missing a laugh or two though.
I think we need to merge all 3 together. We grow 7 footers in a lab right? So why can’t we just merge em together??? It is Halloween (anlmost), after all!
The way Painter played him after his first stint. He gave more run to Furst and Berg with the starters.
You could be right but could be more so he wanted those guys to just get more PT cuz they won’t be seeing much soon. Who knows tbh
Yeah, I hope I’m wrong. I really think he can help us this year.
I don't think the competition was strong enough to tell enough about a whole lot of things tonight. Still glad CMP is working on finding that right combo. Might be small ball.....did a Purdue fan just say that....😎
I must be the only one who thinks Berg is going to see a decent amount of playing time? Sets the best screens for teammates and can hold position well around the basket. Has decent hands. Needs more playing time to gain more comfort and confidence. Just my opinion.
You may be right. He just looks a tad slow, but if he complements Braden the best, then he will play. I have not even the slightest clue as to what painter is going to do 😂
It's going to be RB's decision. I had a couple of takeaways from the exhibition as it relates to RB.
- Painter was clearly trying to allow him to 'separate' from the other 5's with the early playing time, which tells me that this is a real open question
- Painter indicated in his post-game comments that there was still little separation between the 5's and IMO, focused on the development of DB for this season
- We know that MP will allow the player to make the redshirt decision. My guess is that he'll encourage RB to take the redshirt, but it will ultimately be up to Raleigh.
Nope. He holds the experience and strength advantage to this point. And we still haven't seen the jumper/set shot.
