Luke Ertel, Mt. Vernon: The junior guard and Purdue commit had a monster week in three victories, starting with 31 points, five rebounds and four assists in a 66-58 overtime win over Pike. He then had 34 points, seven rebounds, five assists and three steals in a 73-56 win over Marion and 33 points (on 6-for-6 shooting from the 3-point line) in a 67-43 win over Southport.

I don't follow IN HS basketball. How good are those teams that he played?

So all seem to be at least decent teams but not great. Marion (9-8) is 13th in class 3A. Pike (11-8) is 38th and Southport (10-9) 41st in class 4A. 4 A are bigger schools. Mt Vernon is ranked 12th in 4A.

good to hear, 6'2 lefties are OK w/ me

 
Yesterday there was a post that said Luke was an awesome PG and could end up being Braden’s successor. Is this the new definition of a pg averaging 30+ points? Is he really a pg? Or is he more like pistol Pete and Kyle Macy?

I liked Braden because he is a true pg and a floor general and coach on the floor. I also liked Kyle Macy, and Steve Alford but never thought of either as a PG. I prefer Magic Johnson and Stockton over Isaiah Thomas and Lillard.

Is Luke really a pg? Or have roles and labels changed?
