How many guys has Painter recruited rhat had the physical gifts/abilities that Ivey has? If you want to knock his recruiting you’ve got a point. Luckily he’s got two guys coming in over the next two years who have that NBA physical make-up in Colvin and Catchings.
I think you have a pretty good idea what went down with Swanigan and contributed to him not sticking in the league.
I mean E’Twaun played for a long time. Hummel I think could’ve stayed around longer if not for the two ACL injuries. Hammons had the talent and expanded his game a lot he just didn’t really care about a lot of stuff including basketball. Carsen played a little in the league too.
JFC is that who that is with a different user name? Fcking clown.

You’re kinda dumb aren’t you? Swanigan went from 30% from 3 as a freshman to 45% from 3 as a soph and then turned pro. He developed the three just fine.
I’d agree with that example. Was a shame he transferred before his senior year but if he had developed any semblance of a jump shot he’d have been so solid. Probably the best on-ball defender Painter has had.
By the way…Swanigan shot threes in high school and in AAU. It’s not something that he never did and magically started developing. Edey and TJD, from an outside shot development is a better comparison. Neither have shot it from deep with any regularity. And Swanigan’s 2-17 in the league doesn’t seem like he developed anything just fine….
Why and how? I'm interested in seeing where this goes considering he didn't bring up swanigan first or say anything bad, depending on how soft you are that is.
Since when is 17 attempts a legit sample size? Even if he went 7 for 17 he wouldn’t have gotten a lot of playing time. Doesn’t change that his jumper was what propelled him into the first round. This all started as a discussion about getting drafted not what they did once they were in the league. Weird straw man argument bringing up Purdue’s lack of NBA players that had nothing to do with the original topic but I’m not surprised.
Lol. You’re crying about the same size now? I’d bet if he shot 10-17 or something like that it would have kept him playing more. He really should have worked to develop his shot more.
17 attempts over 3 seasons? I think most folks would call that a small sample size. He didn’t play because he wasn’t a good defender not because he shot 2 for 17 from 3. He was exposed a lot on defense.
Yeah maybe he was a below average defender, but if he shot the ball well enough it would have helped keep him on the court. He didn’t shoot it well at all and thus didn’t play. Should have worked on his shooting more…
Is this the Mom that demolished @arcb102000 after he trashed her kid and two IU players that she has known and liked since they were kids?
Lol. He is such a tool but far from the worst, besides he couldn’t afford a monthly rate.
Swanigan was never going to get significant minutes in the NBA.
It had something to do the mental health issues that led to his passing. I'll leave it at that as I'm more than a little disgusted that this is still a topic of conversation.
