Davis...

Does this surprise anyone? Cline only scores two ways this season: wide-open looks or the other team assigning one of their weaker defenders on him. As you can see, a team's best defender can prevent him from even dribbling. It's hard to be an effective player if you can't dribble.

Davis is the best defender in the B1G, and one of the best in the nation. Cline is going to be a great player. I've seen him play, and he does not get open looks. He was knocking down 3's all year playing against a double team most games.

Have realistic expectations. It takes 3 Indiana high school defenders to equal one elite D-1 defender. Cline doesn't have to dominate to help Purdue. He just has to do what Kellen Dunham did for Butler as a Freshman: run around and hit NBA range 3s when he gets a decent look.
