It wouldn’t surprise me if Smith has a good year, potential has always been there.
oh it definitely played a big factor. Without Proctor, I just don’t think the depth is there to justify redshirting Newman.
Yeah I was really impressed with Proctor. He’s obviously a below-the-rim player so I’m curious to see how he does with more advanced competition but he appears to be a solid decision maker. He really is like Terone Johnson with a prettier jumpshot. Hunter looked great, his jump shot had a quicker release which shows more confidence.
Even in the stretches where the offense did get ugly, I still thought the ball movement & off the ball action was good and just little stuff needs cleaned up like post entry passes and missed open shots. I can deal with those mistakes though.
& like you sort of alluded to, I think this should be Purdue’s best defensive team in the last decade.

we looked like shit but we’re down a guy in potter who should be decent for us. It’s barely November. We’ll be alright.
Ohio state struggling with ****ing Cincinnati
If anyone sees Hail or Snu around tell them I’ll take the over on 37.5% Purdue 3pt FG % for the 2019-2020 regular and post season. Men’s basketball FTR. 37.5% is a push. The wager is lifetime ban for the loser(s) from the Rivals cbb board. I’ll only take it if they both accept it.
I have a hunch the loudmouth trolls will be too chickenshit to accept.

you just don’t see guys redshirt often especially after a team replaces so much. Odds his shirt gets pulled this year?
interesting that Painters teams have only been over 37.5% in 4 of his 12 years.
Oh and I’m not interested in doing it as a ban bet. I don’t have an opinion or care one way or the other on Purdue’s roster. I just thought it would be fun action to have for an avatar bet.
That or there simply aren’t a ton of minutes available at the 2/3 when you factor in Proctor, Hunter, and Sasha. Prob a combo of both.
Ehh just find it hard to believe. I thought he was rated higher than Franklin and quite a bit better shooter.
I hate the idea of Michigan redshirting someone. Hoping Bajema doesn’t get redshirted.

He just put up 8 assists and no turnovers in his first game. Seems he’s more prepared to play than Newman.
I was initially confused why one would talk up a game vs Western Illinois. After all, they are ranked 296 on KenPom and beat just 8 D1 teams last year. Then I realized one of those 8 wins was against Fort Wayne.
If they beat Fort Wayne, they must be legit. Not everyone can beat Fort Wayne!!
I haven't talked up a Purdue player after beating a middling mid-major. I definitely wouldn't after beating a joke of an opponent.
I like Franklin too but using a game against Western Illinois to compare players is comically stupid.
Not really. What’s that say about Newman that he’s not even ready enough to play against that joke of an opponent.
All I said is Franklin seems to be more ready than Newman and your panties get all bunched up. Doesn’t mean Newman is bad. Don’t be a little bitch, lol. Calm down.
Oh, and between our scrimmage, exhibition game and now his first game, Franklin has done really well. Sorry that hurts your feelings.
Hey it was said. These are always fun to revisit. I’m sure now it’ll backfire on me but here they are.
I doubt Painter would redshirt him. For such an athletic elite shooter that Newman was billed as to red shirt is just odd. Wasn’t his mom having health issues? Could be a reason.
Dude....are you honestly going to act like for your first game ever in college you put up 8 assists 0 turnovers 5 pts and 5 rebounds and it isn't one hell of a game? It doesn't matter 2ho it's against... Most teams schedule cupcakes for their 1st opponent of the season and you rarely ever see a freshman do that in their first game.
Of course,no way in hell he's even remotely close to being that good night in and night out right now. But for one night, he turned in one of the more impressive boxscores for a true frishman in his first game that I've personally witnessed! And to make it even more impressive....he isn't a point guard at all and only had a handful of days running it in practice.
Call me crazy, but I think that trying to act like it's no big deal because of the opponent is way beneath you.
