Well good thing you’re not an NBA scout cuz you would probably not have a job. A majority of it is based on potential for the lotto picks, which is why some flame out and don’t live up to the hype in the nba.
What makes you think Myles won’t play in painters system? We are hoping he gives Myles a chance to play and learn from his mistakes to be ready to help out the team with his shot making ability and athleticism by March. I think painter sees that…but why would Myles be selfish? What has he shown that makes you think that? Highlight dunks will come when they can and he’s not afraid to shoot, but I’m sure will take some bad shots (he just turned 18 two months ago) and will also make shots that no one else can. He brings an element to the team that no other player does.
What is this nonsense about Myles and Catchings “outdoing” each other? What have you seen from either player that you think makes them selfish and care to only do that? Painter hasn’t ever recruited players like that. So yea, they’ll coexist and it will be one of the most athletic teams we have ever had.
I’m not sure where you get “many” of Purdues players have NBA potential…we don’t get as many as other programs. We have a few here and there…which what makes it even more impressive with what painter has done at his time at Purdue.
Eastern was never going to the NBA, even if his mom thought so. It was very apparent early on he couldn’t shoot…like at all. He was a good defender, but not good enough for it to outweigh his non shooting capabilities.
