So are you saying that one of your player’s parents also doesn’t know a lot about Purdue’s motion offense? She agreed with me about it not being a fit for player like Nojel (and Morton).
Can you name a guard or wing that thrived offensively in Painter’s system that wasn’t a good shooter from outside?
- Define “thrived”. Does that mean they scored frequently? Doesn’t that mean a good shooter? I struggle to understand what you are talking about here.
Can you name a player known for facilitating that thrived in Painter’s offense?
- How about LewJack, or Thompson? Maybe Kramer, or John O? Do you even recognize these names? Throughout the years, Painter’s teams have thrived on having a glue guy that facilitates. Watch a replay or two, pick any year, and you might learn something about basketball.
What’s the highest amount of assists a player has averaged for a season under Matt Painter? My guess is that it’s less than 5 apg.
- Painter’s offense has often been ranked in the top ten nationally for efficiency. Very often you will see stats like 23 out of 27 baskets had assists. The assists get spread around, making Purdue very hard to defend. It seems you have trouble understanding the game once it gets beyond the grade school level where everyone has a spot and one kid handles the ball.
