The idea of treating the 5 spot as just one really good player got me thinking about the other spots. Tonight illustrates the strength in numbers and depth, because not one guy really had a huge standout game.
1 - Thompson/Hunter - 16 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 TOs, 6/7 FGs, 2/2 3s, 2/2 FTs
2 - Stefanovic/Newman - 24 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 TOs, 8/17 FGs, 5/13 3s, 3/3 FTs
3 - Ivey/Morton - 18 points (thanks Jaden), 6 assists, 5 TOs, 7/12 FGs, 4/7 3s, 0/0 FTs
4 - Furst/Gillis - 15 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 0 TOs, 4/7 FGs, 1/3 3s, 6/8 FTs
5 - Edey/Williams - 20 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 TOs, 10/16 FGs, 0/0 3s, 0/1 FTs (unreal that those two only shot 1 FT, but nothing egregious that I can remember)
I mean, those numbers for each spot are just awesome. And Purdue held FSU <1.0 PPP. This is going to be a tough team to handle with so many options, and it seems like everyone is completely bought in.
