Guess those big, huge, mighty, supersized Boilermakers aren't invincible after all. Too many turnovers and way too many offensive rebounds. Recipe for disaster.

I'm not sure if he's good at anything really, but he is big and can dominate smaller guys who can't overcome the side with talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s a bit much. He’s a solid offensive player but sometimes can’t catch the ball cleanly and makes mistakes. He has some skill/finesse for a 7’2 guy, can shoot FT’s, and has decent post moves. But he sucks on D for the most part (besides clogging the lane), doesn’t rebound well, and doesn’t really block shots. He’s good at drawing fouls, converting free throws, and scoring close to the rim. He’s still a solid player that any coach would be happy to have on their roster I’d guess.

Other than being a good free throws shooter, everything you just said would indicate he is just big and plays well against smaller guys who aren't good enough to make up the size gap.

FW_Hoosier Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 But I thought Purdue was going undefeated this year!!! At least that was the impression I got from the way some were fawning all over them. I cannot WAIT for this HTD rant, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Didn't watch Purdue game. Saw they lost. Can anyone give me what Tennessee did to beat them? I think the Vols were picked to be 13th in SEC so on paper (I use that term loosely this time of year). Sounds like a disappointing loss but sounds like and reality are usually two different things this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haas only had 3 rebounds which is terrible. We had 18 turnovers that led to 20 points. Just too many mistakes and didn’t shoot it well enough to overcome the mistakes.

Would drive me crazy given his size. Reminds me of Hibbert when he was with Pacers. 7'2 and is 3rd or 4th on team in rebounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 I have not watched enough to make a fair judgment but I feel Purdue will struggle with athletic teams. Even with their size I think rebounding will be a problem for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
