Yeah, he hasn’t had a great year, but I’d argue his role on that team is pretty clear: he’s there to knock down the three. My point was simply that he didn’t do that in this game. I even listened to a Purdue podcast to get a sense of their perspective, and he seemed to take a lot of the blame. They were also critical of his defense.
My overall takeaway is that we won that game in large part because TKR didn’t have the kind of performance you’d normally expect from him. After listening to the podcast, I also learned more about the injury he’s dealing with and how his play has dipped over the last few games.
