Hey- how’s your BOO HOO !! FIRE PAINTER!!! Petition going ??
Ignorant. Every source that lists him says either (1) guard, or more specifically (2) point guard.
I watched Jones play 2-3 times last year, he had the ball in his hands a lot distributing as well as scoring, your comments are misguided, this guy is a good player that will help the team, in my opinion, much more than Jenkins. Purdue got better yesterday, that’s a good thing!
Settle down, Charlie Brown.
ok, time to mute some of you
I hate to taint your faith in the internet, but the average troll isn’t putting this much thought into their posts.
It will be interesting to watch how Love does at Meat-chicken. One of the frustrations Dickinson alluded to was losing games at the end because the UM guards played NBA bull crap. Love might bring a bunch more of that nonsense. UM might not be all that good because of that UNC add. Not all glittery transfers are gold.
our problems with the press are insisting on trying to dribble through and not passing and attacking. There isn't a guard in the world that is going to consistently beat an athletic press with the dribble. We will always be pressed until we make teams pay for it.
Pretty sure ol’ Charlie Brown is just trolling us. His only posts are inflammatory.
It's possible that I overreacted.
If the 2024 season is already lost, why are you still on this board?
"The press" you reference can't be a man press, because "passing" to a player already covered may cause problems and so dribbling with the player that has an advantage is the best way against man press..unless one of the defenders forgot he is suppose to defend a player. Now a zone press does require more than one player and the 2-2-1 specifically caused some problems this season. Not all zone presses in play are hard pressure where you should attack. Sometimes those are hopeful the team will force the action while the D is giving ground to protect the basekt and hope for a careless pass or out of control dribble. Sometimes those then up the pressure once they see the tendency of a team to break the zone. Bottom line...attack everytime the numbers favor you for success, but have the mental discipline to understand the difference.
Great! Then we won't have to read the wisdom in your posts in 2024.
Not sure what the Michigan comments were supposed to illustrate. Purdue didn't fill their need and wildly exceeded expectations. Michigan filled their need and sucked -- didn't even make the NCAA tournament.
Good well thought out post. Having watched Lance play my opinion is you’ll like him. He’s a better fit and better player than Jenkins, he’ll be a nice 15-20 minute a game option. Guessing a 6-8 point a night player if he gets minutes.
They would have to replace every player, including Edey to accomplish that.
Who are the 5 available players you have in mind?
Good question. This is just my opinion.
Kaufman-Renn, Furst have the versatility.
Furst mostly catches interior passes from Edey for layups/dunks or catches passes to shoot 30% from three. TKR, ah,so far no, but maybe, has to lose weight and get quicker. Freshman will likely struggle on D, and Waddell has not played meaningful college minutes, so who knows. So really a bunch of maybes. All about opinions, but only one counts...Painter.
Ok, I will try again. I bet Kaufman-Renn could better contest
Hope that coach tries something new next March with lineups
Except for one game, I would take a repeat of 2023 in a heart beat!!
