Purvis will return, when he gets out of his slump. Jalen just needs one full season, he is not ready yet.
Those unforced turnovers will not be in his game next year.
Odd to see Purvis get the pine after his lone bad performance of the season. You would have figured DHam would have saw the bench before Rodney did. We got the win but did we just trade Hamilton's slump for a wounded Purvis ego?

Yep, Hamilton is obviously our most important player overall but his prolonged slump could have been handled differently I thought. If KO had sat him down to start a game or more often throughout a game to try to get him back on track that I couldn't have faulted him for that. Not saying I think he or Rodney ever deserved to be removed from the starting lineup moving forward.The difference between a Purvis slump and a Hamilton slump is that Hamilton will still grab 14 boards against Tulsa to go along with his 5 points. For a team that has been getting beaten regularly on the boards, we can't lose that. I'm pretty sure that factored into Ollie's decision on keeping Hamilton in the lineup. He was our leading rebounder today also...
Purvis came off the bench for a good chunk last year and was very good in that role. It won't affect him.Odd to see Purvis get the pine after his lone bad performance of the season.

Houston is terrible defensively and Adams had 5 TOs and 2 assists. That is not what I want from a PG.
That needs drastic improvement if he is going to play 30+ min a game.
Not during his good stretch at the end of the season thoughPurvis came off the bench for a good chunk last year and was very good in that role. It won't affect him.
To me, guys like Purvis are like anti-glue guys. Unglue guys. Glue guys don't necessarily load up the stat sheet, but they do several things well, play as a team, and so on.Odd to see Purvis get the pine after his lone bad performance of the season.
That is false, but will he not be a freshman next week?It's called freshman mistakes. They're going to make mistakes and they're going to learn from them. Kemba was the same way if not worse as a freshman.
