He should have been dropped when he reclassified if that is the case. If it takes a couple years of development to make a significant impact on the court, a player isn’t a 5*.

Hmmm how could this be? Ivey didn’t even make honorable mention All Big Ten last year.
They’re only on the teams because of Painter. His reach goes beyond borders.

Enjoy your last couple months on here little man 🤣🤣 Ivey first team lock LMAOOOO
Lol it’s going to be funny to try to watch you nullify the bet when it’s clear Ivey isn’t going to make 1st team.
Miller Kopp & Parker Stewart definitely going to give him a run for his money. LMFAOOOO
Kopp did come back to college solely for unfinished business not his delusional attempt at the nba…
Saying you came back for unfinished business to a school you transferred to and haven’t played for a is pretty funny.
Kopp has no hope in anything professional. He’ll be playing at the Y with Boudreaux.
You are dismissing factors in this...COVID for one. Especially for an incoming freshman, who in reality, should have been a senior in HS. Instead of a summer full of workouts, he was stuck in a dorm room..Instead of getting in multiple workouts, practices, he got none. No exh games as well. That played a role---But I get it---Your a Purdue guy. There's gonna be no common ground,or sense here, on your part. I understand Ivey, as a freshman, under went the same issues. But Ivey wasn't a should be senior in HS, either. That too, plays a role.
Then there is the PT, part. Painter didn't bury Ivey on the bench. Ivey was allowed a freedom, that Lander was not: 24mpg for Ivey, 10 for Lander. Miller IMO really mismanaged Lander...He played 14 minutes in IU's opener---He had 5 points, 2 assist, 1 steal and no turnovers....Then, well, he played 6 minutes next game.. Then Miller runs him there for 16 minutes vs Texas. Which made no sense. Follwed that with 18 vs Providence---Had 5 points, 4 assists, 1 steal and no turnovers..Solid. So whats Miller do?
Rewards him with 6 minutes vs FSU.
Then he plays 17 vs N Alabama, has 10 points, 4 assist, 4 rebounds, 2 turnovers...
Miller rewards that with 2 minutes vs Butler. MOF, after those 17 minutes vs N Alabama, Lander didn't reach double digits in minutes played for 10 straight games. Amazinly, he only played more than 5 minutes, ONCE....Vs Illinois.
Absurd. Especially when you consider how bad at times IU's backcourt was---especially Phinisee. Even more mindboggling was the fact that Miller played him 10+ minutes 9 times over the final 11 games. Makes no sense. You bury a kid for a month, then throw him to the wolves..What type of results did you expect?
Then he has two, solid back to back games vs Michigan/MSU---and what does Miller do? Plays him a TOTAL of 7 minutes vs Purdue/Rutgers...
Maybe Lander was rated to high...He did drop though after the reclass---and was 81st RSCI---Ivey was 87th.
Bottom line---Lander was mismanaged IMO, especially early. He should have played more---a lot more. Especially with the struggles of Phin. But he didn't. Thats on Miller. Not to mention the offense Miller ran, really didn't suit Landers game. I think that changes with Woody.
At the end of the day, its silly to "write off" a kid after one year, in a pandemic year to boot. If he has the same issues/struggles this year---your claim has much more merit. Until then, not much TBH.
😂😂😂😂. Trevion can join Biggie after his pro career flops. The fast food restaurants and donut shops in their town will have record breaking revenue.
In other cases, they have dropped players when they reclassified. That is my point. 5* players are expected to make an immediate impact. There is no way in fck Lander should have stayed a 5*. If they went back re-ranked now, he wouldn’t even be top 150 while Ivey would be much much higher and Edey would jump at least 300 spots.
Yep, but at least Cline made an impact in college. Kopp is Cline with a much worse outside shot, so basically a star for IU, but a scrub overall.
I think Purdue has a good chance at having a 1st selection. Most likely the guy who was selected 1st team last year by the coaches and 2nd team by the media.
So are you talking about their impacts on the court, or what they will do after they leave college. You seem to be jumping around.
Go show me where I said that. I said he isn’t an ELITE or TOP TIER athlete. You often attempt to misconstrue what people say to try to make a point. It doesn’t work.
At what? The original point was that neither Trevion or Kopp have a shot at the NBA (neither did Cline), and it was a waste of time for either to put their name in the draft or declare that thy were coming back. Try to keep up.
He was the top athlete at a small tournament consisting of 17 and 18 year olds? Cool. He’s not an elite athlete or top tier.
At basketball. Comparing Kopp to Trevion is moronic. By your logic we can compare Trevion to B-Westy.
