I have to watch Purdue play because my wife went there. Their guards are not very athletic. Their big man, Zack Edey, treats the ball as if it is a greased pig. Zack has a hard time catching the ball cleanly, performing a smooth drop step that would allow him an easy bucket. The guards donβt help him as they often throw it about waist high to him where he has to fight for the ball. When defenders are fronting Zack just throw the ball high over them where only the giant can get the ball. Then all he has to do is lay it in the basket. Purdueβs point guard is short and dribbles into trouble far too often for my liking. Plus he is an inconsistent scorer. The BIG was not very good this year. They win too many games in conference play scoring 60 points. Then when they get in the tourney and have to score 80 points they have hard time. Recruit more athletic players.
Hey, check out local girl Hailey Van Lith, Sheβs a cocky little gamer who plays for Louisville. In the handshake line after the game tonight one of the Texas ladies was trying to tell Hailey to tone it down and Hailey was having none of that.
