Indiana at Purdue: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

[BoilerNGold013]

Heide and Colvin on the Aaron Wheeler training plan. Two of our best ever athletic talents and Fletcher Loyer is our best slasher.

This is such a depressing take because it is so true. Colvin has done nothing since ole miss and heide has been scrappy but hasn't done anything significant since texas a&m. Both look like post-frosh Aaron Wheeler. I think they will bounce back but not until next year as they are adjusting this year to how Purdue will play post Edey. Both need to get in the gym and work on handles and then focus on making shots under pressure. Also develop any type of offense beside being catch and shoot! Like offense is supposed to be fun. GO WORK ON IT! Develop a pull up/floater/attack the basket anything if your 3 pt shot is not falling. Purdue needs them both to develop in the worst way to make a big run next year.

Also too bad Mason didn’t stay. Doesn’t seem to be a fit with Duke at all. Well below his career norm in minutes. Assuming he would have stayed if it was known before hand that Catchings was leaving

Would have been extremely useful for this team

For the love of god let’s give this mason talk a rest.

While I agree, what do you guys ACTUALLY expect these guys to average from points and rebound and shooting %?

Do you guys understand how hard it is to just shoot 38%+ from 3 when you should 1-2 shots a game? Or go attack the rim when maybe that’s not your role and you’re told not to?

Just trying to put it out there that not all guys have to average 8 and 4 and shoot 50% from the floor. Painters system has role players next to his best players and that’s what those two are.

I thought Heide played well in spots tonight and he played hard. He added some much needed help. To Myles defense, he was still cheering from the bench, and I still attribute a lot to the HS competition he played being pretty weak.

Heide played 27 minutes and went 5 and 5 0-3 from 3. Getting 8-4 with those minutes should be a norm not the exception! He has more than enough minutes to contribute that on a regular basis. He is ice cold shooting since the A&M game. Colvin played 10 minutes and recorded nothing except 1 foul and 0-3 from 3. I want this team to be as good as it possibly can and these two need to hit their 3's when open. They both have been horrible shooting the ball or providing anything on offense in BIG play expect on lob dunks and the occasional offensive rebound by Heide.
Like I said I think they will work on their games toward what is needed now with Smith fully in control but probably wont come this season.

Nice to see someone being honest. At this time Colvin and Heidi are nothing more than role players. I know each player has a lot of fans here with real high expectations for both. But the reality is becoming obvious. And what happens next year when West arrives?

 

[spoilerdave]

Sucks? Lol. Looking to next year.

Next year Purdue may be preseason #1.
With the NCAA tourney in Indy and TKR, Braden and Loyer all seniors... Add a true 5 who can hit the three (7'4" Jacobson) and Cox, Harris, Colvin and Heide.

Purdue is going to be top 5 all season long...

Half of IU's team is gone... if not graduating, transferring. Woodson will need to start over and he is a lame duck coach so recruiting will be much harder going forward.
