Purdue vs. Auburn: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

This only shows we relied on ZE to make everyone good.

Smith is a good player, not great. CMP is giving our starters to much slack. Their +/- is just flat out horrible against tough teams. We are not going to move the needle with this lineup and unfortunately, that's on CMP.

I hope for some growth this year with our youth vs. expecting our guards to be tougher, quicker and/or lead this team to a FF.
 
Things we won't have to worry about:

1. Smith leaving early to the NBA
2. TKR leaving early
3. Team getting a big head from being ranked

Having said that, this team, I think there's something going on. I don't have any predictions but feels like one or two players will transfer end of season. It feels like someone is going to be frustrated by end of year.
 
I don't believe we have room for 3 unless someone leaves but I also don't believe Painter will bring in that many. It's going to take a ton of convincing to get him to bring in 1.
We will have room for at least 2 as scholarships go from 13->15. West replaces Furst and i wouldn’t be surprised if at least 1 of Waddell and Berg transfer out.

Hope they dont leave the team in general tho

Smith is not a 1st round pick. He is a 4 year player
 
Cox has potential of being very good going forward. The only player with whom I am impressed.

Burgess has potential, and Harris will eventually find his groove IMO - maybe not this year. I understand people hate hearing it, but you have to be a little patient with some of this. Yeah - Painter has his work cut out for him, but the guy can still coach.

Tex: I give CMP a pass this year. He obviously thought the 2 frosh and 2 soph were ready to play at this level. However, if he doesn't go portal for help next year, that will be a different story.
