Scott is a good kid and will do well..............
He is a great player and will continue to be...............
He was recruited into a system that at the time was looking for penetrating guards (RJ, TJ, Little AJ, etc.) in the motion offense.
As AJ Hammons established himself and now with Haas, Taylor, Edwards and Biggie, Purdue still runs the Motion Offense but with a focus of feeding the post first then if not their reversing the ball to the open man for a 3 pointer or drive and dish.
Went from:
1) Move the ball and get to open man or reverse the ball in motion to get to open man
2) Drive and dish or drive and finish at rim
3) Get garbage rebound basket
to this since we now have a post presence:
1) Move the ball but look to feed the post
2) Reverse to find the open man and take quality shot
3) Drive and dish or drive and finish at rim
4) Get Garbage rebound basket
*Note: I also think we will see a lot of post to post passing this year like Michigan State does very well. Pass in to Biggie/Edwards/Hass to draw the defense and they pass to AJ/Haas for easy layups/dunks.
*Note: Also 3 step passing to the wings....pass to post...to post then out to the wing or top of key for a three point shot.
With the 3,4 and 5 spots being solid and with little drop off when going to the bench, we should see higher scoring, higher field goal percentage and should be able to out rebound our competitor on both ends.
Should be fun to watch, unfortunately Bryson's Scotts game didn't translate to what was needed and he was not in a position to adapt his game.
He is a scorer and a bulldog defender.....he will find a team that needs that and will do VERY WELL!
I wish him very well.............
Boiler Up!
