IU Scott Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 2 minutes ago, 5fouls said: I keep seeing a lot of references that imply TJD will not be a 4 year player. He is ranked #29 in the 247 composite for his class. There are 30 NBA teams. Throw in International players, a handful of late devoloping upperclassmen, and the 28 players ranked ahead of him in his class, and the odds are heavily against him being a first round OAD. As far as being a two and done, he is then competing against another group of top 30 first year players and a new batch of international guys. If a player does not go first round after their sophomore year they become an extreme long shot to ever be.a first rounder The bottom line is that the odds are against the 29th player in a class from EVER being a first round pick, so why should we so easily assume he won't be a 4 year player? I think TJD will be here 2 to 3 years and remember it does not really matter what you were ranked in HS when it comes to the draft. There were 2 top 5 picks in this draft who were not highly ranked at all with the kid from Murray St being a low 3 star and the kid from TT who was ranked 300+.

My point is we should not assume he falls into any category, let alone one that assumes he's an automatic early entry candidate. The math says he probably isn't, unless you are of the opinion that he would declare even if he is not guaranteed first round. This is not a Romeo situation.

I have no idea what he will do because today kids leave early even if they are not guaranteed a first round pick. There are a lot of kids go undrafted who left early so who knows what kids will do.

Adding that as we all know he is the son of a multi-millionaire and doesn't have the financial need to go early that some do might keep him around longer as well.

The Purdue and IU free boards on rivals are both bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is and I had to leave it because every post became a pissing match between the pro CAM and the ones that wants him fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 This is the only IU board I am a member of. I am loyal to this crew. Not that there's anything wrong with being a member of more than one board, of course. Based on my prior dabbling, I find this board to be the smartest, by far.

He looks like he's about 6'5 on the drive. I wonder if he's going to be in college for long. Loveday impresses me. He's obviously long but he looks really mobile and agile for that size. I'd like to hear more about his motor but he looks like a really good get. If we want to be an athletic team, both make a lot of sense. These aren't big, plodding old school players.

I think a new thread for 21 and a separate new thread for 22 is best. There may already be a 21 thread. Please do not change the title of this thread. I hate these never-ending threads that get to be 50 pages or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUwins0708 Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 Got no problem being wrong, comes with the territory. Was just saying what I was hearing. And yes I can promise you Boiler was sitting on that response for a long time. Notice his trends, only comes around when something good happens for Purdue or when something bad happens for IU. It’s just who he is, and that’s fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 ...and who's to say he didn't have second thoughts after his mom got a job in Memphis...we'll likely never know, but it was fun to make Boiler sweat this one out. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotIThatLives Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 If we get Garcia, do we go after one more late? Maybe go dynamic scoring grad transfer. Love Al, Rob, and Franklin. Would love one more dimension of scorer in the back court. I think next year's squad will make a major leap into top 10. When you sniff a championship team you do whatever it takes right?
