Purdue's young group getting experience
The purpose of Purdue taking an international trip to play four games was to get new guys acclimated to college basketball and returners to get a taste of their new roles. This has also provided Painter with an opportunity to see what lineups and rotations work.
Painter has used different starting lineups in Purdue's first two games. He's also utilized a "hockey switch" substitution pattern, often subbing in five players at a time midway through each quarter. It doesn't allow for players to get into much of a rhythm, but it is an opportunity to experiment with different looks.
Gicarri Harris and Antione West Jr. have arguably been Purdue's two most consistent players through two games. Caden Pierce has added a nice punch on the glass, Omer Mayer has done a good job running the offense and Daniel Jacobsen is establishing a good post presence.
However, there is still plenty to work on, especially defensively and with the boards. Those are going to be two areas Purdue continues to harp on throughout this trip and into the regular season.
