Looking good young man, Zach Edey 2.0 with a jumpshot?!
Will Berg
- Thread starter *Shockerrr*
- Start date
might have the best stroke of any of our big guys
Reminds me of a more physical Haarms than Edey 2.0...
Could be our most universal big man ever at Purdue. Love how this staff works on a players foot work vs. positioning.
Latest Terminator model from the Purdue labs. 7’2” with a 3 point shot.
Practicing against Zachen everyday has to help speed up his development.
This will work as more of a recruiting tool for a big man.
Loving his development and appreciates what his usage will be when the time comes for him.
Boiler Up!!

Man would be awesome to see Berg be a 40%ish 3 pt shooter. I know many on this board (myself included) dont like Hunter Dickenson's personality but Hunter's on-court game is great. Would love to see Berg develop into a player like Dickenson who can shoot the 3, protect the rim, play great pick and roll defense and have good post moves against smaller 5's.
The potential with Smith and Berg in the pick and roll becomes amazingly enticing if Berg can become a good 3 pt shooter.

Daumn. Great workout. just speed everything up over the next 9 months.
Why not ask for it all, I want Jokic/Embiid hybrid in a Purdue uniform. That seems reasonable.
In all honesty, love the video and I am excited to see him play!

I would imagine NCAA rules do not allow university facilities to be used for private/hired trainers.
I am not sure Berg uses all of his eligibility. If that 3 point stroke is real, and it looks liek it is, between is size, shooting and Painter's staff's ability to develop big men, a stretch center is to valuable to the NBA. I actually think there is a better chance Zach uses is all of his eligibiity than Berg using 4 more years of his.
We just have seen this way too many times before on how Painter develops 7 footers...over and over. 3 star to NBA.

Berg, Colvin , Heide added to current mix if they all stay next year....wow, better and better.....how does someone prepare to play that group....will just wear you down ...and dropping 3's...geeeezzzz, can you say FF.

"one of our" JJ was pretty universal, but yes more versatile than many or most
Berg looks like a good shooter, I but have to see how he does in a game. Great inside against a little coach pushing him with a pad. Let's see how he does against folks closer to his size, with strength and bulk. I am hopeful and Painter does his homework. However, I don't get overly excited about practice video or video of our d-1 recruits playing in high school against "regular" high school players.
He is playing against one of the best players in the college game in practice..
Interesting. I just wouldn't think he'd need a personal trainer when we are in season. Never heard about guys training outside of normal practices during the season before. Seems like the kid is probably going above and beyond which is great.
Both he and Heide look great in warmups, doesn’t mean much but they stand out.
I was referring to the video. I am sure he is learning a lot playing Edey, but doubt he is looking so smooth and easily posting up, making layup and hooks against Edey. My point is not to get so hyped about a video with no pressure on him defensively except small guys with pads. That said, I trust Painter.
Only time will tell when he sees the floor but I trust that our coaches will bring out the best of him in the future. Not very often you get a 7’2” guy with a smooth jump shot that gets to practice against the best big man in college!
Keep in mind the practice setting and live games are completely different.
Zach's workout video a few years ago showed his rangesa lot farther than 4 ft and less.
Have not seen them, yet. esp. face up shots
Perhaps he is saving them as a secret weapon for March.

If he can shoot 3s at 40% the pick and flare is undefendable.
Abmas & Obanor put on a clinic with this in Oral Robert's 2021 tourney run
I've always wanted Purdue's 5s to shoot a few 3s per game. I think Haarms could've developed a good 3 point shot
I guess these are highlights. We don't know what sort of percentages they're shooting unguarded or in scrimmages.
I seem to recall Eastern always had off-season videos where he was lighting it up from 3...
He never offered a lot of resistance with the pad and he never pushed long enough. That said I do think he is stronger than when he arrived on campus and he can shoot the ball with some range. I doubt we see him moving bodies the same way Haas and Zach have. He is 7'2" and has some skill I think he will be productive...
But Haarms never did here or at BYU.
Because it's Todd Fosters gym and several players use the Delks for individual workouts. He is spending his own money to get better.
