Lander or Ivey

Purdue fans are obsessively jealous of the candy striped warm ups. Don't blame you though. PU has the ugliest uniforms in the Big Ten and they're among the ugliest in the country. How can you stand to wear that baby crap yellow?
Are you on Oahu? We are out past Hawaii Kai near Sandy's.

I am most definitely NOT jealous the "candy striped warm ups". If you like them, that's cool!

I used to live in Kailua. I live in Ohio now - never changed my handle. People know me by AH.

You should be jealous of the iconic candy stripes. ;)

I was in Kailua last Friday - it owns so hard. Got my Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccination in Kaneohe.

We've considered moving over there. It's a GREAT part of the island. Kailua Beach Park probably top 3 beach park on the island!

Lanikai is better ;)
 
Lander his passing is Jason Kidd like, he will figure the shot out and be a blazing fast stud of a guard!
Lol! Jason Kidd??? I think Lander has potential too, but he’s at least a year or two years out from being a real player.

yea it is laughable to compare Lander to Kidd at this point. I agree he has potential and he appears to have good vision but his pass accuracy is nowhere near even an average point guard at this point let alone a Kidd. Hopefully over a year or two he develops into something special.

Being honest you really can’t even compare him to Ivey. Ivey is a major contributor to a 4 seed in the tournament. Most IU fans don’t even think Lander should be on the floor yet for a bottom tier IU team.

I walked over there as well. No amenities, which is frustrating when you have two kids that will definitely need to shower off. Lanikai is a great area though - less crowded for sure.

Starting around Kuliouou all the way around up to Kahana Bay is just awesome.

Took my son over to Laenani Park last weekend - I still dream he grows up to play for Purdue, or if not Purdue wife and I are hoping he does it for the islands like Avea or Ng have.

Maybe IU can be his fallback school ;)
 
Will the new staff prioritize Lander? I haven’t heard player reactions to the hire

The new staff has to re-recruit Lander, along with TJD (who may go pro) and the 5 other IU players in the portal.

Or the new staff can let them all walk and fill in all of the gaps with some fresh blood.

Bottomline the prioritization of Lander may be answered before summer practices even start.
 
Hey Hoss,

I like to party so let's do it. But Cav, I know you're kind of a legit high-roller so nothing too crazy, say $100?

Hoosiers v Boilers, whoever advances further. If both would happen to get bounced in the same round, it's a push.
Lol. High roller. I could be also if I had no wife and children. Notice I said no wife, not “life”.🤣
 
Didn’t realize he shot just 25% from 3 last season. That’s not impressive.

Definitely will need to improve upon that if he's gonna be in the lottery. But what's encouraging for him and Purdue fans is:

1 He was approx 40% from 3 in HS on high volume
2 Missed around a month of start of season with foot injury but after returning I believe he shot above 35% his last 10 games or so

Wife or not, if you're routinely placing multiple + $1,000 wagers (sportsbooks or otherwise) yes, I'd say you're a high-roller. I understand it's all relative because to me I keep nearly all wagers in only a $20-$100 range.

@Cavanagh.13 may talk some sh*t sometimes but to his credit he's backed it up...especially when it comes to sports wagering. I have also seen when he's taken his lumps, he's taken them like a man and I respect that. So it's not like he's one of those gambling buddies where all you only hear about are the wins

Yep…figures. You totally missed the joke. Wasn’t a shot at Cavanagh.
 
Are you still taking Galloway 'any day and twice on Sunday' or not?
Is it really that much to wonder? Both Ivey and Galloway do two things particularly well and they're about equal in that regard. Both are very good with the ball and have identical A/TO ratios (2:1) which is extremely good, let alone for a freshman and are both rangy and active defenders. One guy (Ivey) averages more points because he takes entirely more shots from the field. Does anyone really doubt that if Galloway took nearly 9 shots a game from the field he too wouldn't average ~8ppg?

I get the fascination with Ivey; athletic, good driver, etc but his shot is terrible and his shot selection is even worse. IU doesn't need another gung-ho guard who can't shoot that makes the offense even more inefficient than it already is.

Man, it has been fun rereading these takes. I forgot how much he dug in on his Galloway over Ivey take.

Gonna age even better this year. Can't wait. Can only hope people bring it up as much as the Donovan Horse Farm. Only difference is, OlGeezer has boatloads of posts to choose from.

You’ve called Khristian Lander an NBA player for the better part of 6 months. You’ve written the book on bad takes.

If he goes to the NBA you never post again. At the end of the season I'll start a poll who is better, Galloway or Ivey. If Galloway wins, I will never post again. Bet? I'll wait for you not to reply or take this bet.

I’ll post when I please.
 
Remember when you said there was zero chance he would be drafted? Yeah, I remember too. Good times.
Still a poor man’s Romeo.

BTW, if you are going to talk sh*t, at least get it right. I said you don’t have to worry about him getting drafted after next season.

I never said there was zero chance he would ever be drafted.

I’ll take Ivey over Romeo every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Better athleticism, basketball iq, passer, scorer, defender and will also be a better pro.

I’d take Romeo at either level. Completely disagree on Ivey being more athletic or having a better basketball IQ. There are no stats that backup your assertion that Ivey is a better scorer, passer, or defender.

Ivey is a shorter Romeo with far less length and a worse shooter.

I wouldn’t expect a Purdue fan to know what a good pro would look like since you haven’t had any good pros this century outside of Carl Landry in 07.
