One player in particular is really struggling

[bonefish1]

Without naming names (it's obvious who I'm talking about) this guy is really hurting the team with his inability to hit an open shot. I think we can all be resigned to the fact that this guy is and will always be a spot up 3 pt shooter. He hasn't developed the ability to handle the ball or get to the rim. Ok, fine. But if that's what you're going to do, then you have have to hit some shots outside of garbage time.
Against iu, we had a 7 pt lead and the ball. This guy gets a wide open, and I mean wide open, look from 3 and can't knock it down. Stretching the lead to 10 at that point would have been huge.
Not sure if he's go the yips, lacks confidence, if it's a mechanics issue or what. But we don't need a more another Ethan Morton.

Nobody hit 3s in that game. Braden is 1 for 9 in his last 3 games. We kicking him out too?

There are two guys struggling to hit threes right now, but both are doing a lot of other things well. I don’t know what it will take for them to break out of their respective slumps, but I believe that they are good players and talented shooters and I like that Painter is being patient with them.

Yeah well he's not another Morton either.

When I said go after Johnell Davis some said no but a average of 9.5 good on the board has 18 against Kentucky would have added more to the lineup

When 2 freshmen (Cox, Harris) are WAY ahead than him...........

I think picking on Colvin and Heide is a little cheap, it's tough to play in short segments and they don't have the luxury like the Big 3 who can have a whole half of off shooting but have the 2nd half to have the chance to put up big numbers

Not picking on them. Just stating some facts. Heide brings more than Colvin with his ability to rebound. Both were given opportunities to start and prove themselves and both lost that starting role. its like being a DH in baseball: you have to produce at some point.

 

[Boileratthebeach]

Let’s all keep in mind Myles is 19 and is a sophomore. Cox is 20 (and a full year older) and a freshman. Unlike most players Myles reclassified earlier and much earlier than most (meaning most take an extra year to be the “bigger kid” etc….like Cox.

Yawn

I thought we should have added Anthony Edwards. I think he would have helped too and was about as likely as Purdue adding Davis.

Can't decide if this is just bad faith arguing or literal retardation.

I mean both are playing more minutes than last season and doing less than last year with those added minutes.

I don't think they should do anything but graduate as Boilers but it's beyond fair to suggest that they haven't done a ton to expand their games.

Colvin is better on defense but that's about it between them. They are shooting worse, in more minutes and rebounding less in more minutes.

That's not awesome.
