Anyone else almost shocked when he misses and open shot now? What an incredible shooter. I hope Painter runs him off screen after screen. Could easily see him at 15ppg this season

Yeah He is purdues best player Low Key and probably had the best line. He is just such an efficient scorer, passer, grabs rebound and plays the best defense

Mid-range shooting is a lost art, and Dakota is a master.

Love watching him off the ball on offense and defense. Not many work harder than him on both ends of the floor. The MWC will be one of my favorite Boilers of all time, no doubt.

Here’s what I love about Dakota. He was known for being a good shooter coming in. The summer after his soph season he works out with a known shooting coach because he knows he can always learn and get better. Last year he was better for it and it appears he is going to have his best year yet this year. Pure boilermaker! Gotta love those two Ohio guys on the roster!

it is not only his skill...it is just how cerebral he is. He really knows the game

WAIT!!!!!! ... just hold on one dang minute ... are you suggesting (without saying it) that he has .... wait for it .... ..... .... basketball IQ??????????

'cuz we ALL know there is NO SUCH THING! ... and it is only used to kinda maybe try to describe a slow guy that can play the game better than a slow guy should

you know, in my post about SIE where I mentioned the Z word it was those sentiments that might allow playing the two bigs in a zone or man (with haas guy the less threat outside) knowing that if quickness allowed a drive...a lot of players do not have that inbetween game to get around one and then just pull up for the shot before getting too deep

not only does he have at least two std deviations above the average basketball IQ, but his achievement is outstanding as well. He has his physical limitations, but what coach wouldn't love to have him that desires to have a team do more than run up and down the court and either dunking it or kicking it up into the stands. Makes you wonder where he might be had he not had his physical issues the first two years
