11 points on 10 shots... truly impressive. He may be good down the road, but he’s currently just a chucker. Our fanbase would be eating him alive if he were putting up those numbers on our team. On par with Al Durham currently and significantly behind Armaan.
“Plays large with the game on the line”.... was he playing large down the stretch against Maryland and Minnesota? He hit some big shots against Ohio State, but that’s hardly consistently “playing large with the game on the line”. He’s an inefficient scorer who could be really good down the line.
He will learn. I love that Painter is letting the freshman learn through experience. Will pay off. I believe Ivy will be better than carsen when all is said and done.
It's bold, I know. I think he has everything carsen doesn't. Size and more athleticism. And he has the drive to get to carsen's level imo.
Go look at the numbers between Ivey and RP. Not really a big difference. Lander and Leal should both be starting ahead of RP and they aren’t.
He’s 10x dynamic as either of those two stiffs. Your lack of basketball knowledge is evident here.
Watching the game as I said (not reading the stat page), I was impressed with him because of his rebounding and defense. It seemed like when a big play was needed, he got the block or the rebound at crucial times.
More dynamic than who? I wasn’t comparing Leal or Lander to Ivey. I was comparing him to RP. He has similar production to RP and Durham. He has a higher ceiling than both of those players, though.
I’ve watched every game Purdue has played this year as my wife is a Purdue grad. He’s a chucker. The stats confirm that.
Kind of why you want to build a team that doesn't rely on freshman though isn't it? Why I never have expectations. If furst and kaufman come in a redshirt next year, Purdue will still be really good.
I did mention Ohio State earlier as a game where he came up big down the stretch. Last night was his typical inefficient night.
Yes, Painter built a great team. No seniors and only 1 sophomore. Fantastic class balance.
I agree with you. He hurt Purdue in both those games with bad decisions. It's become obvious that you don't think Ivey will be any good. I hope that's true against IU.
Where did I say that? He has a high ceiling and may be a really good player in the future. My point was that he isn’t a great player right now. Definitely not an elite player like Purdue fans think.
His last points were at the 8 min mark. That put them up 3. Sure it won them the game though lol.
Ivey is already “elite” though, right? Shouldn’t he be better than sophomore Armaan Franklin? He’s not close.Wow! Franklin was once a freshman too. Look at those stats. I guess he’s the only freshman that gets better as a sophomore?

@LowCut told us last week he was elite. There are literally people on your board saying he is the best player since Glen Robinson.
Excuses don’t pay the bills! He can pass, he can’t shoot, he can’t guard anyone, dumb turnovers,who gave him his 5 star rating? His mother?
I would doubt it. Archie is very stubborn with his starting lineups.
There is more to basketball than scoring. I believe he went assist, block, transition assist in a 61 second period around the 2 minute mark.
It's a shame Franklin didn't want to play with Newman and went to iu. He's turned into a solid player.
His last assist came at the 4:45 mark. His last block came at 6:51.
I would take Newman next to Franklin in a heartbeat. You have it wrong though. It wasn’t just Franklin that didn’t want to play with Newman. It was a mutual understanding by both players. That’s the reason IU stopped recruiting Newman after Franklin committed.
