Colvin in the Portal

I agree with you on another creator.

That said, having Cluff instead of Furst, will open things up some. Defenses weren't paying attention to Furst at all. They won't be able to do that with Cluff. Playing 4 on 5 against a good defensive team is not a fun experience.

It's going to be a huge upgrade. Nothing against Furst as he is tall and was active...but his hands. His hands are/were terrible. So many missed rebounds, bunnies and passes of his hands.

Agreed, I understand him leaving, he likely wants to be a starter/playing 25-30 minutes a night, that wasn’t likely available at Purdue next season.

He was starting and playing 20 min to start the year. Then…lineup change

And wasn’t strong going up with the ball

Getting another creator will be huge. Having another guy who can take guys off the dribble, get into the lane, force help side D and get the D into rotations is going to create open looks for kick outs or draw the rim protectors away from the bucket

Then you weren't paying attention to our scoring droughts against good defensive teams where nobody could get a good look.
Next seasons team desperately needs another creator.

We got tons of good looks against the best defense in the country. Just didn’t hit many of them.

Sure it would be great to sign a $2 million wing. It isn’t happening,

Hopefully he isn't going to med school to be a surgeon....

We can surely find one for half that or 400-800 right?! Haha

Maybe that’s the Northeastern or SIU guy ?

Northeastern guy just committed to LSU

there’re so many guys in portal that meet or beat MC or CH numbers/potential; whether you get them Is another thing

i only saw a few minutes of game film but what jumped out at me about Cluff was he seemed very "clever" with his hands shooting the ball. Funky angles and side spins and such looked like a big part of his game. Not overwhelming athletically so that will be important. a bit Jokic like. No, I'm not comparing.....
Showed glimpses of being a nice passer.
Hopefully the rebounding carries over.

Definitely has some craftiness to his game....some flashes reminded me of John Amaechi - for those of you with a few miles under you. Started out at Vanderbilt and then played three years at Penn State after the old-fashioned transfer. IIRC, he was all-conference his senior year, '95.

someone mentioned him on Boiled Sports as a comparison
