Anyone watching the Michigan, Purdue game?

Yeah I do - he clearly wasn’t ready but the NBA drafts on potential - he made a big mistake leaving when he did
He went 1st round and made millions. He has had injuries, which haven't helped. As an IU fan, it would have been nice if he stayed longer.

Braden can stay at PU forever, he will never be in JHS's league. I certainly have my doubts that 5'10 whitey will make the league.
 
He went in the first round as a freshman and is a millionaire. You really want to compare Braden to JHS? One was good enough to go pro immediately, the other one isn't. Not a whole lot of 5'10 whitey in the league.
This is exactly what some IU fans don’t get - plenty do - the 5 star recruits don’t necessarily make you have a good team. I remember you harping about Edey and that he wasn’t gonna be a pro so that means he wasn’t a good player. Um yeah.

And I remember plenty saying Smith would regress without Edey this year - his assists have gone up
 
Why didn't he go pro early like JHS then?
Because it would have been economically foolish to have done so. IIRC, Edey was listed during his Junior season in assorted mock drafts to be late a 1st round to 2nd round draftee, with more favoring the latter. By staying at Purdue and becoming a 2-time NPOY and only the second in around 35 years, he moved into around mid-lottery as a draftee. At the same time, he was reported to have made money at Purdue that was not substantially less than a 2nd rounder.

Being in the lottery as a draftee is far superior to being a 2nd rounder. That is true for dollars in the contract, length of contract and guarantees of contract. Plus, he got some national ad endorsements. On top of that he further developed his game. Staying for his Senior year was a wise decision on his part. I am astounded to read that you do not recognize that. But given your other analyses, I shouldn't be surprised.

As for JHS, according to ESPN.COM, he has played only 2 games this season for the Lakers and averaged 2 ppg. His career stat is 1.7 ppg over 23 games. One can argue that he was not ready and came out too early before he was ready enough. You seem to have it backwards.

Too much logic

I was talking about Braden, lol. WTF are you babbling about? Are you seriously talking about analysis, debate, and reading comprehension when you can't even follow the conversation? JFC. Neat one person conversation, weirdo.

You wanted more of JHS?

I will simplify it for you - JFC left too early and now he likely has no NBA career. Edey stayed until he could also be drafted in the first round and now he’s gonna have a long and meaningful NBA career - follow now?

You have posted multiple, multiple times on this board that if Edey was a good player, he should have left after his Junior year for the draft. Please do not pretend that you didn't as anyone who regularly reads this board knows that I am correct. You are now making the identical argument re Smith. As an American, Smith is more able to capitalize on NIL rules that restricted Edey as a Canadian, favoring a decision to remain in college if he can improve a draft position. Time will tell.

Of course, there was a logical inconsistency in your posts because at the same time you were arguing for Edey to declare for the draft you were also asserting that he wouldn't get drafted or play in the NBA in the unlikely event that he was drafted. Surely you remember your post declaring that Edey "....has no NBA future." That obviously goes up there with your multiple declarations that Purdue would never make a Final Four. Are you going to pretend that you didn't make those as well?

Given your record of analyses, one is more likely to be correct by fading your predictions.

You just gave yourself away: the other 5 handles are also you, lol
 
Yeah, another chance to show how much you don't know. Do you ever get tired of showing your utter ignorance of basketball or are you so clueless you don't realize every one reads all your lies and laughs at you.
How did I just reply with that handle? Damn I’m good
 
He will be back at Purdue next year and I wouldn’t be so sure he won’t get a shot in the pros - I know if a player isn’t a pro that he’s no good in your opinion but you also thought Edey wouldn’t be a pro so………
Will he stay at PUke or go somewhere where he can get paid

Edey was compensated well in CA. Moze makes what Cupps. Does and less than Leal.
 
Jimbo has to be a non-graduate fan. Not even IU would give someone that clueless and without the ability to read, or write a diploma.
Which personality/handle am I talking to? There are like 10, at least. Only a true loser would create multiple handles and live here. One of the personalities/handles started a conversation with himself and somehow included me in on it.

Wow. You responded to a current conversation with a past conversation about a different player. You then proceeded to lecture me on analysis, debate, and reading comprehension, and responded with one of your different handles/personalities. Your level of loser, troll, and psychosis knows no bounds.
 
PU gets their kicks rubbing it in IU's face and watching the rxn. See IU sucks chant.

Coming here is a chance to watch us suffer in real time. Some seriously sadistic stuff.

I guess we might deserve it, but PU fans...more so than any other fan who hates a team that I know of...really REALLY hate IU fans/grads.
I grew up in Purdue country and have worked there and still have friends and family there.

I can attest that your last sentence is 100% true.

I didn't say that Edey was not compensated in Canada, he was. However, being a Canadian reduced what he could have earned had he been an American because of NIL rules and US law.

I will note that you want to ignore your falsehood posted in this thread about IU Basketball sellouts going back to the 1970s. Inside the Hall wrote that was not true. You like to make things up.

Why doesn't he g

Because you responded to a present conversation with a different one! That makes no sense, unless you have multiple handles/personalities and can't keep track of conversations, time, etc.
Jesus dude you are on bad acid or something - if that’s the case I totally understand

I don’t hate IU fans at all - it’s just fun to mess with a few of your posters - Jimbo, Nonsense, Indy, TMP - Logical conversation amongst rivals is good - those guys not so much
