The Ringer posted an article this morning on 12 NBA draft prospects to watch during the NCAA season. Vince is listed among three seniors they say "have a shot to sneak into the first round."

Vince Edwards, Purdue, F
What to watch for: Edwards is an incredibly versatile defender and an efficient spot-up 3-point shooter. He has all the makings of a terrific 3-and-D role player, and this is the year for him to prove he can do it consistently.

What to be concerned about: Edwards is fun, but too frequently he disappears like he’s wearing a ghillie suit. He falls into spurts where he’s lackadaisical and doesn’t fight over screens, or goes through stretches of games where he floats on the perimeter without making plays.

Reality checks can make some huge improvements... Hoping...

Interesting that it seems like the author has actually seen him play. Bring it every night and your future is bright, Mr. Edwards.

Without going to the article I would guess it's written by Mark Titus, or at least influenced by him. I think he has an excellent take on college basketball and is a Big Ten guy, grew up in Indiana and walked-in at OSU with Oden and Conley. He loves Vince and has a decent podcast for NCAAB on the Ringer (would be better if his co-host didn't suck).
