To be fair to Cox, you should have watched Lance as a freshman when he played at SIU. He wasn’t that great. It took Lance 3 years to become a defensive stopper and a 4th year to improve his outside shot. Before coming to Purdue, Lance would shoot a lot and some of his shots would go in the basket. His shooting percentage was not the best.
Lance was awesome at Purdue, but his first 2 years at SIU were nothing to write home about. I doubt anybody here besides SI BOILER and myself even knew he existed his first two years at SIU.
I would say Cox is better as a freshman than Lance was. Is that saying much? No!
