FF in Painter's tenure?

[TC4THREE]

I don't watch the NBA much either, but you don't think having players drafted by the NBA is an indication that a college coach recruits good players?

Don't care. I hate the NBA.

Any player with Haas' size will get a long look from the NBA. If the NBA will sign uncoordinated Eastern European or Chinese players that are >7', they'll sign him. how do you know what he's capable of. He sat behind an NBA draft pick ($4M rookie contract) for the last two years.

As a FR, Swanigan averaged 10 ppg and 8.3 rpg (he nearly led the BIG as a FR) and he was a FR All-BIG player. What's hilarious and uninformed is a moron like you saying that Swanigan is not and will not be an NBA player.

E'Twaun Moore has started 46 games in his career. Back-ups don't usually start games. If he's so bad, why have 4 teams signed him to contracts? His latest one with the New Orleans Pelicans is for 4 years and $34M. $8M a year is strong bank for a "nice back-up".

What is amazing to me is your obvious level of vitriol for Purdue. You are not a Purdue fan at all. You've been called out as an IU shill, and it does seem appropriate.

Again, you're looking at counting stats for Caleb. The fact that you think he's a sure-fire NBA player just proves how clueless you are.

He played about as much as anyone on the team, so I sure hope he could muster 10 PPG. That doesn't show his overall value to last year's team...he struggled, and that's a fact.

I'm a huge E'Twaun fan, but let's call a spade a spade. Most of his starts came on a HORRIBLE Orlando Magic team. He's a back-up, rotation guard in the NBA, and that's nothing to be ashamed of. He brings real value to teams, but let's not act like he's some NBA star.

Actually, thank you for, yet again, showing your ignorance. If you have followed the NBA off-season at all, you would know that $8M a year is the going rate for a nice back-up, since the salary cap has increased.

You need to take off the gold and black glasses. You clearly can't handle the truth.

The sheer amount of stupidity in your post is astounding. Just go back to peegs iudeac.

You need to take off your candy-striped IU warm-up.

Do you think Thomas Bryant or Caleb Swanigan will have a better NBA career? How about James Blackmon, Jr. or Swanigan? OG Anunoby?

Thomas Bryant's ability to protect the rim makes him an interesting draft prospect, although I only watch IU when they play Purdue and/or if they're on national television and I'm posted up on my couch with nothing to do but watch IU (hopefully) lose to whoever they're playing.

10 years ago, Swanigan would have had a better shot, but that's not the NBA of today. Players in the mold of a Zach Randolph aren't as valuable as they once were.

Blackmon can't really do anything but score, and inefficient, high volume scorers aren't overly coveted nowadays.

I'm going to refer to you as Mr. Mediocre from now on.

Have a good day, Mr. Mediocre.

I think we are legitimately a Final Four caliber team this year because 1) Haas and Biggie are going to be better this year. 2) Carsen gives this team an explosive scorer from the guard position. We'll lose some on D, I'll give you that, but our team defense should still be outstanding.

And I shall refer to you as captain lame iutroll.

Johnny Hill was not superior, IMHO. His boneheaded plays at the end of games (MSU and against UALR) cost us any chance of winning either of those games.

Jon Octeus was a true Godsend in 2014, no doubt. I wish we had him for two years.

We'll see how Spike does this year.

Let's add Sporty Carter and E. Peck to the count. I recall them as pretty good players.

Sporty had some good games. Peck I thought generally underwhelmed with his performances.
