Good to see
Basically he is thriving in an actual NBA style offenseGood article from Dom Amore on Purvis.
“I know, in college, I really underachieved,” Purvis said. “I understood that. … I felt like I wasn’t able to be as consistent as I wanted to. The game in college is really tight, it’s really compact. With the NBA game flow, how fast the shot clock is, you get more possessions and for a guy like me who likes to get up and down, breaking guys down and getting to the basket with space, it’s really helped me a lot more. I’m not going to sit here and make excuses about college or whatever, I don’t know, I just feel I’m able to be myself more now, and be in control of what I want to be.”

Yes and softer non playoff defense.Basically he is thriving in an actual NBA style offense
The defenses he is facing now are worlds better than anything he saw in the AAC.Yes and softer non playoff defense.

“Non playoff defense” lol everyone in the G league is playing like their careers could end tomorrow.

And yet the bodies, athletes, and preparation at that level would negate at least some of that expanded space, no?Yup. Lanes/ paint area are 4 ft wider or 60 sq ft larger. And the 3 point line is 3 ft further which equates to approximately 188.5 sq ft more room inside the 3 point line.
Much more room and spacing for driving lanes and with the defensive 3 second rule it makes it even easier to get to the rim or an area for a high percentage shot
Jalen is reading that quote and packing his bags as we speak

You still have to wonder what the heck was happening in Storrs to have Rodney look so average here and now he's threatening to be an NBA player. There were literally dozens of posts stating Purvis would never play in the NBA. The people who made those posts were not being unreasonable. It seemed rather obvious that Purvis was Europe bound. Now look, 6 months later this guy is playing well in D League and 8 months later he scores 40. You just have to wonder.
Post of the year!!! LmaoBrimah and Purvis are definitely missed. We don't get blown out to Arkansas, Arizona, and Auburn with those two - we would lose by 10-14.
Rodney was a great athlete who could run and when he got over his early season funk turned into a decent shooter. He was plain awful at the beginning of last year.Yup.
