Carson is a stud I'll give you that, I don't know how I forgot about him. I don't get the love for Eastern, he's simply a bad basketball player. Can't shoot, can't score, terrible free throw shooter, and has a terrible assist to turnover ratio for a point guard. He is tall, defends well against players his size, and that's really it.
I've seen nothing out of Haarms that says he's as athletic as anyone I named. He's 7"3 and he averages 4 rpg, that's abysmal. All of the guys I named average at least 3rpg and two of them are point guards.
2 of your starters ( Haarms, Eifert) and your 6th man (Boudreaux) look like they belong in the YMCA league. Purdue lacks talent, I mean you're 6-5 I don't know why you're arguing this.
Last year IU lacked talent and I was the first to admit it, we were a bad basketball team. I don't think we're great this year by any means. We are better than Purdue though no question.
