Right? He guarded the PnR well too and was able to recover and then block the weak side shot. Argentina was clearly bothered by his height and ability. Obviously needs to work a bit on strength, but that’ll come. He’s the most complete “modern” big man we have had at Purdue. I wonder if paint will let him (and berg) take 3s…hopefully he does. Gonna be fun to watch them develop.
And how he does it without fouling is even more impressive. Granted, once he gets to the B1G that will all change because he is just tall
A little more info on CJ. This reviewer lists all the qualities Coach Painter looks for in a PG. The difference is he has those qualities on both sides of the ball and has the height and strength for a combo guard. As does Harris. Also CJ plays for Middlesex Magic, one of the toughest East Coast AAU teams.
Could be that the Boilers will be a strong two-deep team at every position!
Bleacher report streams it in English. I’ll try to post the link if I can find it when they play
For someone who loves words, you don't choose them very carefully. When found in error, you go back and change what you said, as you did here.
If you want to see his whole game go to Hudl.com and enter CJ Walker tons there.
Hey wolegib is this what you mean saying no one will make predictions???? - You've attacked me for years, ever since you admitted to baiting me into fluffing your genitals. I hope your therapist helps help your intense desire for validation.
You need an avatar ... that green W has a bad connection.
Not getting many minutes, also no one feeding him in the paint.
I think it’s more USA is winning by a ton so coaches don’t see the need to play starters.
If they shoot them in the upper 35+% he will I believe unless they shoot over 60% in close. Course if they have a rim protector defending them that 35+% might be enough😊
Morez isn’t getting the ball much, either. 11 points, 17 rebounds in 19 minutes. Has to rebound to get shots.
I think Morez is looking pretty good and more aggressive on the boards. Jacobsen is really going to good, but I am likely in the minority and don’t think he’s gonna start and will still need some coaching up before his minutes increase dramatically.
Yup yup and yupppp. Offense should look a ton different and spacing will be more open. Consistent transition offense may be a thing finally 😂
TKR and him can play the 4 and 5 and interchange…but TKR will be/should our post scoring option
Not sure you’re in the minority, the other camp is just pretty active / vocal. This is a great showing for DJ with USABB and a great sign for Purdue that they landed another good one, but there will be a ton of competition for minutes at the 4/5.
Yeah I agree with all you said. DJ will come off the bench and may start towards end of year but won’t be surprised if he plays 15-20 mins most of the year. Who knows how good his stamina is at this point, as D1 is obviously a HUGE step up from USAU18.
I agree. Historically, when trusted veterans are in place, Painter isn't inclined to throw freshmen in the deep end. As good as they are, none of the freshmen will be under pressure to be "the man".
