You are bound and determined to ride this straw man all the way to the bank aren't you.

You agreed that developing a shot is hard.

That’s why Swanigan never developed to be more than a 2 for 17 shooter in 75 NBA games.

 

[Boilermaker03]

That’s because the Swanigan comparison is dumb, always has been dumb and you were trolled because of how dumb it was. This was purely about developing an outside shot for someone who never shot it outside. Not athleticism or anything else. It started by saying TJD should have developed an outside shot to help him go in the first round and was used as a slight on him. I said Edey should have done the same. Other PU fans disagreed and gave Edey a pass on the same development, even though it would have helped him.

So. Given it was purely about shooting the ball, Swanigan had always shot from outside, even in high school. TJD had not. So again, not a good comparison. I said a better comparison to asking TJD to shoot from deep would be to ask Edey to do the same thing. I don’t understand why you can’t comprehend this.

Again, this isn’t about who would get drafted higher, athleticism or their potential in the NBA. It was purely about just throwing out someone should have learned to shoot from deep is an idiotic comment to make.

First of all, I haven't been able to find any information on Swanigan shooting 3's in high school. If you have a link, it would be appreciated.

Second, if you think the Swanigan comparison is dumb, then the Edey comparison is even dumber. They are just not alike at all.

I don't know what everyone was saying early on, but when I stepped in, it was clear to me what the argument was about and that's what I went with.

How many guys do you see get drafted high for the NBA that cannot shoot?

They should learn to shoot then. Edey included.

I’ve explained it. You can’t comprehend it or are choosing to disregard it. Either way, the Swanigan comparison is dumb. Full stop.

Wow. Are we still talking about this dumb sh!t? The season can't get here soon enough.

Tractor Traylor was drafted top 10. Better than any Purdue big since then. Yeesh. Is Traylor really that much better than Purdue bigs?

Thanks to your fellow Purdue fans. Maybe tell them to not be complete homers. Then all will be well. Hell will freeze over before that happens, but hey it’s possible…

A few B1G commits still alive for the U19 team:

Looks like Fears and Catchings didn't make the next cut. Still two more guys to be cut and Colvin is the only current B1G commit.

Why hasn’t Edey learned to shoot? Painter holding him back? He can’t give go top 10 like Tractor Traylor did despite winning NPOY.

When did you and SNU sign a pact to keep agreeing with each other?

You and @texanhoosier1982 love having bad faith arguments don't you.

In short, yes. So stop wasting your time and pages of inane debate by replying to each of their posts...

Illinois can’t develop NBA talent 😝

Exactly. Best to ignore rather than engage when they get like that.

Hopefully the alien can learn how to shoot well enough to stay on an NBA roster

Or….Purdue homers get trolled when they make dumbshit posts and get pissy because they get trolled. Point being, don’t make dumbshit posts and you’ll be just fine.

JHS at 13
TJD at 30

Seems like there is a possibility TJD could sneak into the first round. I would argue his additional development has helped him. But we'll have to wait and see what actually happens.

He did a great job of improving his handle. I'm still not sure where he fits in the NBA but he certainly has the athleticism to fit in and that seems to be an extremely important part of the equation.

I am/have. They are acting like children.

Maybe have a better argument and you won't get trolled. Don't come in halfway, misunderstand the discussion and cry when people troll you. You're such a victim. I'm sure someone will comfort you while you continue to cry.

I honestly think what gets him paid is defense.

 

[IUBtown]

There's that thread about are you smarter than most on this board that comes to mind.

 

[boilerzz]

It's possible but what position does he play? He's never defended 4's regularly, has he? Not sure he's big enough to defend 5's. Then again, I don't really follow the NBA closely so.....

Have little doubt he could guard the 4...TJD is crazy athletic. long....very agile, good lateral quickness. Great timing. Also feel he'd be decent in PNR---and IF he could knock down a 10-footer............

He's sneaking up the draft board. I'd say there's a reason for that.

I’m not familiar with what the rest of the conference brings but outside of the obvious #1 and #2 (Michigan and Ohio State) how does the rest of the conference rank in football?

MSU should suck again.

Happy Father’s Day to the dads on the board. For the rest of you, don’t fret. You’ll get laid someday.

Just glad we can go into a season not having to worry about whether our coach will leave lol.

So Gary Barta announces his retirement from University of Iowa. Some WTF leads team USA to a thrashing of Mexico and Canada. As WTF leads team USA to a thrashing of Mexico and Canada, the people in charge of team USA decide that after 6 months of blood sweat tears, they're running it back with Gregg Berhalter? Tell me Gary Barta wasn't in on this shit. Tell me Gary Barta didn't orchestrate this

Apparently Fran's youngest, Jack, has made it known he's not going to Iowa.

Will any other B1G schools recruit him?
