Purdue at Rutgers: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

[PaBoiler78]

Gotta be tough rootin for the Irish, eh Pa?

that was the first time I rooted for them since I was a kid in catholic grade school

I think Colvin's moving down the playing chart. He can't shoot, he plays weak defense, and he doesn't help anyone. Harris, Cox, Burgess, Berg and Heide should all play before him.

What about Waddell? Is he ahead of Colvin too?

BERG?! Cmon man. You’re a known combine hater but that’s even outrageous for you to say. Myles is in a slump and you’ve seen what he can do. You don’t just sit the kid cuz he isn’t scoring. He’s making a big impact on defense and you know it. But cmon man.

Why are you ranting about his defense? Last night he was beaten more than once because he was out of position. As stated, I hope he becomes a basketball savant, but man he's shown so very little this season and once the yips hit the putter, it's a long, hard way back.

The first three things when he got the ball was miss three pointers. Maybe he needs to work on layups first.

Probably not, but on any given night who knows.

Because he’s been great at it and been praised left and right by a lot of Purdue beat reporters and fans.

What specific plays are you referencing that he got beat?

Lmao Berg? I agree Colvin has been off this season but not all the time. He had 20 points against Ole Miss and was one of the key reasons why we won that game. Has Berg done anything remotely close to that? Myles also had 7 points in the 14 minutes he played against NW including going 2-4 from 3. Once again I agree he’s in a bit of a slump but Berg? Just no.

Berg is great at mop up time. Has not shown anything else. Always the bench guy that could do better. Last year it was Colvin, he’s gonna be all world did you see his high school videos?

High School ain't college. Colvin ain't gonna' be all world.

Oh, I get it...you're just being facetious😉

One in particular where he was attempting to guard someone on the high post and the Rutger player drove by him for a clean and easy layup. I know you love him, I know you think he's going to be one of the best ever in black and gold, but I don't see anything in his demeanor that allows me to think he's even close to playing any part of the game well.

We'll just have to agree to disagree until when he finally earns his keep.

And again, I can only hope that he proves me wrong but right now Cox, Burgess, Heide, and Harris are better and more productive. Colvin is shooting 41% overall, 31% from 3, and 61% from the free throw line. He has more turnovers than assists. The only positive stat is that he's averaging one steal per game, and he's gotten some boards that's helped.

Sorry, but I just don't share your enthusiasm for the young man, and he's had a lot of chances to prove us wrong. I'd take Cox or Harris in the lineup all day over him.

Colvin will be fine. You, on the other hand, have serious issues.

Do you feel better about yourself now? Got your big tough guy dig in again? What a weel wittle tuff man you are!

Colvin will be fine as a human being. His playing time will not be fine as he is a severly limited player, which is extremely shocking with how insanely athletic he is, and how he had a clear weakness as a freshman offensively and hasnt made any strides with it.
