    Turdue players in the NBA:

    E'Twaun Moore - Pelicans

    Carson Edwards - Celtics

    That would be eight vs. two and three bigs vs. zero.

    Bryant was a very good player but not a McDonald's All-American.  You can contribute his success to hard work and ignore any development edge he might have had, but if you do that, you're essentially saying that Purdue's bigs are lazy and don't work hard enough to stick.  I just don't see much evidence that Painter can successfully develop players, especially bigs for success in the NBA.  Sad commentary either way you look at it.

     

    Bryant was a 2015 McDonald's All-American.

    Saw some of beginning and all of the ending of Pacers W over Miami last night.  Vic took over at the end of the game and led Pacers to the W.

    I think the Pacers need another "superstar" to go with Vic to win a title.  It could be Turner or Sabonis, but if not, they'll have to get a free agent.

    No I wanted to be but where Coach Ellenberger became close I was a soph and u had to be a freshman.   I was in Ellenberger basketball playing class and he likes how I played and he talked me into coaching as a career. For 3 years I went to practice most days and Coach would let me watch tape with him. People can say what they want about knight but his attention to detail was second to none he demanded perfection

    The only player on the present IU team that really understands positioning and shows it in games is McRoberts.

    I was in elementary school when Coach Ellenberger was the high school coach at New Haven.  He was in charge of the Saturday morning basketball program for elementary school kids.  I remember that he never permitted pressing the other team.   I think he did that so we would learn the fundamentals in a half court game.   The press would favor more athletic kids, but no one would really learn the fundamentals.
