Purvis really is the 1 guy that looks like he has 0 clue what he is doing out there to me. The constant turnovers because of bad decisions just kill him. He is the type of player that gets the ball and makes a decision about what to do in that split second, then he does it. If the defense adjusts, he's screwed! And his jumpshot doesn't exist, so he cant keep defenses from collapsing on him when he drives into the lane. In the open court he can do a lot of damage because there wont be any defensive surprises, but in a halfcourt setting he adds next to nothing to the offense imo.
Everything isn't all on Purvis though. I understand we don't have great shooters but we have to find a way to space better and get up better shots from behind the arch. Calhoun has to be worked back in. I want to see a few more open shots from Dham from three too. If we don't start knocking down threes I don't think our offense has a chance to thrive this year.
Purvis needs to forget about being a Ferrari imo, he needs to get in the gym and put up jump shots until he cant lift his arms. And then when he reaches that point, he needs to shoot about 1000 more shots. Rinse and repeat.. Same goes for a lot of other huskies too. We need at least 2 guys other then Boat that can knock those threes down. Between Dham, Cassell, TSam, Calhoun and Pruvis I don't think its unreasonable to expect 2 of them to be solid shooters from behind the arch.
