If this was 20 years ago, Edey is a top 5 pick. Since when is it Painter’s responsibility to have guys succeed in the league? It’s on him to get them to the league which he’s done plenty of times. It’s not just Edey. It’s everyone else. Players want to go to places that will prepare them for the league so they have success and make tons of money and that’s facts. Big men under painter have a terrible track record of that.

Zeller Vonleh Bryant Morgan TJD Almost all have had longer/more successful NBA careers than any of the Purdue bigs. Maybe all of them have, not sure if any of Purdue's had similar runs to Juwan Morgan. Of course the difference for Purdue is their bigs almost all stayed in college 3-4 years. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a pretty dang good run of bigs. Hopefully Ware and Reneau can keep the trend going, I’m certainly optimistic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this argument has been rehashed multiple times but it’s not Painter’s job to get them to have long-term NBA careers. What could Painter have done differently to get guys like Hammons and Swanigan (RIP) to enjoy longer NBA careers? He helped turn them into first round picks and I’d argue once they get to the league, it’s on them, their team/coaches, etc… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt your program’s bigs have had better NBA success though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d imagine it increases quite a bit this year especially with us having a game in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it has to do with the ease of doing NIL stuff in your native country versus having to use your work visa. Oscar Tshiebwe made significant money on their Bahamas trip and he’s not even from there.  I’ve heard he already has a deal with a card collectible company (think a company like Topps) that could very easily meet up with him when Purdue plays in Toronto. I’d imagine the number of companies wanting to meet up with him when he’s in his hometown to play a game would be quite plentiful. Edited July 17, 2023 by Stlboiler23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
