It’s so fun to watch you guys puff your chests out every Nov-Feb, and then witness Groundhog Day unfold in March. Enjoy the cute little regular season wins. You’ll all go back into your little holes once the tall kid leaves and you’re stuck with a group of average dudes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure Arizona, Gonzaga, Tennessee, Marquette, Alabama, etc would disagree. Braden is one of the best point guards in college basketball lol. Even after Edey leaves, I’ll bet we’ll be a preseason top 10 team with the guys we have returning plus our incoming class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point guard is nowhere near, not even remotely close, to being “one of the best point guards in college basketball.” That’s such an outrageous comment. You’ll see how much the tall kid makes everyone better simple by being taller than everyone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for your other guard, #2 I think. Without your big kid, it’s clear you have a very average ball club. Your center could make even the most average of players shine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Edey help make players better? Obviously the NPOY will do that. But if you see Smith play without Edey, it’s clear he’s a stud. We’ll be a top 10 team next year without Edey IMO. Its still a really talented squad even without Edey. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on who leaves from other teams but we’ll bring back a solid core and bring in some solid recruits (thinking Catchings and Harris being the two most likely to make an immediate impact). I think Smith is absolutely in the conversation for best PG in the conference. His stats are on par (and even better in some areas) than Kolek. And you’re right that both can be true which was part of my argument that Smith’s improvement isn’t just linked to how tall/dominant Edey is.

I think losing the NPOY for basically 2 straight seasons is going to be a much bigger loss than you expect. Purdue should definitely be top 25 though next year. Smith is probably my favorite player to watch in the BIG 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think TKR will start at the 5 next year and the 4 will be some combination of Furst/Heide. I could see Furst getting time at both the 4 and 5 next year. Could see Berg being the odd man out and leaving but who knows. Edited December 17, 2023 by Stlboiler23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be a huge loss (literally and figuratively) but was trying to say that we still have a lot of really good players with more coming in next year. Top 10 is maybe ambitious but I’m really high on some of the incoming freshmen so we shall see.

Purdue7 Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 Furst is such a good defender He could easily expand his role on offense losing Edey will be huge just like you guys losing TJD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cthomas Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 Being as unbiased as possible for a 65+ years IU guy, Purdue has a really good team, maybe championship good team. I also really like Painter because he knows who he is and builds good teams without chasing 5 star, one and done guys. I love that. Obviously I don't know him, but he has always seemed like a class act. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the last few seasons, they've played their best basketball in Nov-Dec, but always slide at the end of the season. Purdue never improves, and sometimes regresses in Feb-March, while other teams spend the whole season getting better. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
