Looks like Gottfried listened to some TWWers and told Purvis that he should practice free-throws

another sportscenter dunk (maybe)

3/14/2013 4:24:35 PM

He delivered a pretty epic garbage time dunk.

Except for the part where Rodney yammed it over two dudes and Lawson was the only guy on that side of the court.

3/14/2013 4:25:49 PM

He didn't want to be outscored by Lewis

maybe he should transfer to ASU so he could get the ball in transition on a 1-on-0 break, and get coached to stop and run the princeton offense

his minutes have taken a serious dip lately

it's sad to say, but he's not a good fit here

3/15/2013 6:44:45 PM

only starters are a good fit here

3/15/2013 6:45:25 PM

wat. rodney is fine. he'll be a starter next year and be beastly.

3/15/2013 6:51:22 PM

don't get it Twisted

I want Rodney to stay and to be successful. It's pretty clear that he'll go the Harrow route and he'll be wearing blue in 2015

3/15/2013 6:52:34 PM

i disagree, i think he has a solid future ahead with the wolfpack

but then again, i exclusively follow the wolfpack bball program, so what do i know

3/15/2013 6:53:55 PM

GUYS

HERB.

3/15/2013 6:54:24 PM

how many aliases does the tke guy have?

3/15/2013 7:04:48 PM

just one, but haven't used that name in 5+ years

the ASU flame is getting tired, but whatever floats y'alls boats

3/15/2013 7:16:32 PM

yea, I imagine it gets pretty old not being in the tournament

3/15/2013 8:41:15 PM

I also would've accepted having to hire a kid's high school coach to get a decent recruit to play in your shitty ass system.

his VORP isn't as good as Vandenberg

revoke his scholly

Keep your head up Rye Rodney

3/25/2013 12:03:05 AM

^^when did he post that?

i was gonna give him a re-affirming reply to keep his head up and learn from it, but i did a quick multi-tap of Page Down and didn't see it in the last 2 months

[Edited on March 25, 2013 at 12:05 AM. Reason : .]

3/25/2013 12:05:11 AM

Maybe he deleted it? I saw it about an hour or so ago.

3/25/2013 12:31:26 AM

must have deleted it then

can't blame him for tweeting it or deleting it

it was a disappointing season, but not all freshmen can win the title like Anthony Davis, etc

as long as he doesn't read TWW, he should be fine

3/25/2013 12:44:38 AM

Purvis is a good kid. He'll work hard, and he's going to be the player that everyone is expecting. I also see him being our on floor leader in the coming years. That will come after he produces consistently.

3/25/2013 7:25:29 AM

^^ this. he has the talent, his game just wasnt ready to translate immediately to NCAA level in year one like most had thought.

but look at olivier hanlon, he got 34+ mins/game all year and was downright nasty at the end of the season. Like Lewis, maybe Purvis isnt great coming off the bench - just needs to be playing more to get into his rhythm

3/25/2013 9:34:57 AM

He had plenty of opportunity to do that during the first 2/3 of the year.

He was a dominant scorer in high school because he was so much more athletic than everyone else. He's still got the edge athletically, but the gap has narrowed and there is a lot more length he has to contend with. His game will adjust and he will be fine. He also needs to improve his ball-handling and his shot.

3/25/2013 10:14:28 AM

^^Hanlan is more of a basketball player than Purvis. Purvis is more of an athlete than Hanlan. I would take Hanlan over Purvis right now, but thats just me. Hanlan can do alot more things on the basketball court than Purvis can. Hopefully Purvis wants to be a better basketball player so much that he practices for it night in and night out.

3/25/2013 2:10:59 PM

Purvis is still a work in progress, a "Rough Draft": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOYWubXaU1Y

3/25/2013 2:19:38 PM

you should tweet that at him, lift his spirits.

"Disappointed myself this season...""

Honestly, I feel bad that he's down on himself, but I kinda like seeing this. Let's me know he's not complacent.

If he improves his handle, gets a mid-range floater, and works his ass off on FTs, he can be a dynamite scorer next year.

3/25/2013 3:04:04 PM

didnt Vandenberg tweet essentially the same thing at the end of one of the previous seasons?

3/25/2013 3:27:06 PM

he tweeted after the wake forest (i think) game saying he let everyone down.

3/25/2013 3:34:07 PM

I think a reasonable expectation for him next year would be to get better at controlling himself on the drive to the basket and hitting a better percentage of his FT's. If he improved his mid range that's an added bonus. Looking forward to seeing him, Lewis and Warren get more consistent focus on being a larger part of the offensive gameplan.

3/25/2013 5:29:01 PM

Purvis is so emo

He already has a mid-range floater, it was one of his go-to moves and he's pretty good at it.
