How can you say he doesn't do anything but score? He makes great passes and have you not seen him make some tough defensive plays too? It really makes me laugh that you Boilers say you wouldn't want him.

I know some of his deep threes look pretty and its amazing when he shoots from WAY out, but he isn't exactly a great three point shooter. He is very streaky. He is now under 40% from 3 on the season and down to 35% in conference play.
People see 20 points and think he has to be better than everyone else, but he has a lot of flaws in his game and just turns into a running back with his down trying to get to the basket sometimes. Luckily for him, college referees give an aggressive offensive player the advantage over an aggressive defensive player. Its pretty disgusting what he and players like Hansborough get away with. It makes a lot of games nearly unwatchable.
He has had some great games, but there have been nearly 10 games where he has more turnovers than baskets made, which is astonishing given the amount of shots that he takes. There have also been games where he shoots more three throws than field goals attempted. He draws contact well, but also gets more calls than any player that I've seen in college basketball in some time. Then on the other end of the court, the same thing isn't called. More of a knock on the officiating than than Gordon.
He is a good player, but he is extremely inefficient, turns it over at a high rate, doesn't shoot it particularly well from 3, and doesn't do much if the ball isn't in his hands. He doesn't make it very easy for his teammates to get him the ball. With his minutes, and the amount of shots and free throws that he takes, 20 points per game isn't as impressive as one wold think.
good one corky Turdue would KILL to have gordon on their greasy hair team
I would NEVER want Eric Gordon on my team at Purdue. Especially considering the situation that we are in now with the way we play together as a team. Solid player, but he doesn't take care of the ball enough, move in an offense enough, or play as part of a team enough for me to ever want Eric Gordon on my team. Give me Bassett and White any day of the week, and twice on Sunday over Eric Gordon.
LMAO\ guess you didn't want G-Rob either. Guess you would rather drive your 'ol reliable shit box than a Mercedes You turdue fans never fail to make me laugh
It still kills you that Purdue fans aren't amazed by the "5 stars" next to a guys name than you are......... Or that we get pumped by good defense (blocks, steals, etc) than an uncontested dunk. Or prefer to watch a team run an offense and spread the wealth, instead of one player chucking up NBA range three's that are worth the same amount as the three's right behind the line. I don't know why it is so hard to believe that people might have a different opinion from yours.......when practically everyone on this board (PU and IU) does. Why don't you check how many of EJ's points against powerhouse Northwestern were NOT from the FT line. Everytime I watch gordon play, I more and more think, IU has him for another year.
LMAO This screams: "our turdue girlfriends may be dog shit ugly to you but we love their huge butts, droopy tits, jacked teeth and ferocious breath"
This screams : "I'm a fucking moron"
And by the way, I don't think you're allowed to insult Purdue girls since you are not an IU alum, if u wanna share the community college you went to with all the amazing hotties then you might have an argument.

I wouldn't want him on the current team. If we ran a more fast paced offense or were in the PAC-10 or ACC I would. But not in a grind it out league like the Big 10. Our team is too unselfish, he would take NBA threes all day, and is streaky as hell.

You are on drugs if you wouldn't want Eric Gordon on your team at Purdue. He doesn't shoot 50% from three, but that probably has a lot to do with the defensive attention he receives. I'm assuming you would call J.J. Redick a good three-point shooter, but he only shot .406 in his career, and he stayed 4 years. I'm sure both him and Gordon would shoot better if they had a lot of clean looks from college range. But shooting .393 isn't exactly unacceptable. Gordon gets a lot of fouls called because he is very explosive and a great finisher. He is the beneficiary of some calls that shouldn't get called, but he also doesn't get a lot of calls that he should. He gets bodied, grabbed, etc. all the time with no calls. He'll drive to hole and have an opponent slide under him and draw the charge. The turnovers and sloppy ballhandling are the only downfalls I see. Occasionally he will drive or fast break out of control, resulting in a charge or turnover. But I'd say he does far more positive for the team than negative. Purdue would take him in a heart beat. Oh, and he's a pretty solid defender too. And what's wrong with scoring from the free throw line? Points are points, I don't care where they come from.
So when Eric Gordon drives in an initiates contact its not a foul? But when the defense use contact to keep Eric Gordon from the lane, its grabbing and bumping and hacking? The defender has every right to a spot that the offensive player has, except when both players are getting there and Gordon loses the ball, the official immediately whistles a foul.
Its not just Gordon, its a lot of players. Thats more of a complaint on officials than him, but that will NOT translate to the NBA. He will never go 3-12 in an NBA game and get over 20 points. He gets plenty of open looks that he misses, he usually shoots from so far away the defense can't get out in time. He is an inconsistent 3 point shooter at best. JJ Redick was a quantity shooter, just like Gordon. Players that score 20 a game get built up, but most of the time its because of so many shots that they take and not the quality of their game.

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel.

who cares if the turdue misfits want him or not? they'll never have him. and what would turdue know about 5 star recruits? they get one about every 15 years.
yeah, I would rather have Chump or Grant as my 2 guard vs Gordon anyday too. and I'd rather drive a '77 Gremlin vs a new 750 BMW as well.
seems like a few others disagree with the turdue losers

I think Gordon forces the drive to much but he really doesn't force too many bad shots considering he's a freshman. He's not taking 30 shots a game.

There is no doubt he's a great individual talent. But he does not fit in a scheme of unselfish slow down offense and grind it out defense. If we have a different team dynamic I'd take him. Of course, I probably wouldn't be able to stand watching that kind of basketball though, why I can't stand the NBA.

How can you say he doesn't do anything but score? He makes great passes and have you not seen him make some tough defensive plays too? It really makes me laugh that you Boilers say you wouldn't want him.
He turns the ball over more times than he makes good passes. He is lazy off the ball and would never make it in Purdue's motion. You have to work for a shot and stay within the offense which he has no grasp of. He would destroy the team chemistry that we have.
Just like if I were an IU fan, I wouldn't want E'Twaun Moore. He doesn't really have that great of a one-on-one game and wouldn't get a lot of the points that he gets at Purdue. He is great at working off the ball, getting his shot within the motion, setting his player up off the ball and then getting into the lane.
Different players fit into different systems. Gordon would not fit into Painter's system and would disrupt our chemistry and the advancement of our players. Add in the fact that I don't think we win any more games than we have won because of him this year and I don't think he'd take us to a title, I wouldn't want him. I'll take my team the way it is and the way its going to be in the future.

I know some of his deep threes look pretty and its amazing when he shoots from WAY out, but he isn't exactly a great three point shooter. He is very streaky. He is now under 40% from 3 on the season and down to 35% in conference play.
People see 20 points and think he has to be better than everyone else, but he has a lot of flaws in his game and just turns into a running back with his down trying to get to the basket sometimes. Luckily for him, college referees give an aggressive offensive player the advantage over an aggressive defensive player. Its pretty disgusting what he and players like Hansborough get away with. It makes a lot of games nearly unwatchable.
He has had some great games, but there have been nearly 10 games where he has more turnovers than baskets made, which is astonishing given the amount of shots that he takes. There have also been games where he shoots more three throws than field goals attempted. He draws contact well, but also gets more calls than any player that I've seen in college basketball in some time. Then on the other end of the court, the same thing isn't called. More of a knock on the officiating than than Gordon.
He is a good player, but he is extremely inefficient, turns it over at a high rate, doesn't shoot it particularly well from 3, and doesn't do much if the ball isn't in his hands. He doesn't make it very easy for his teammates to get him the ball. With his minutes, and the amount of shots and free throws that he takes, 20 points per game isn't as impressive as one wold think.
good one corky Turdue would KILL to have gordon on their greasy hair team
I would NEVER want Eric Gordon on my team at Purdue. Especially considering the situation that we are in now with the way we play together as a team. Solid player, but he doesn't take care of the ball enough, move in an offense enough, or play as part of a team enough for me to ever want Eric Gordon on my team. Give me Bassett and White any day of the week, and twice on Sunday over Eric Gordon.
You are on drugs if you wouldn't want Eric Gordon on your team at Purdue. He doesn't shoot 50% from three, but that probably has a lot to do with the defensive attention he receives. I'm assuming you would call J.J. Redick a good three-point shooter, but he only shot .406 in his career, and he stayed 4 years. I'm sure both him and Gordon would shoot better if they had a lot of clean looks from college range. But shooting .393 isn't exactly unacceptable. Gordon gets a lot of fouls called because he is very explosive and a great finisher. He is the beneficiary of some calls that shouldn't get called, but he also doesn't get a lot of calls that he should. He gets bodied, grabbed, etc. all the time with no calls. He'll drive to hole and have an opponent slide under him and draw the charge. The turnovers and sloppy ballhandling are the only downfalls I see. Occasionally he will drive or fast break out of control, resulting in a charge or turnover. But I'd say he does far more positive for the team than negative. Purdue would take him in a heart beat. Oh, and he's a pretty solid defender too. And what's wrong with scoring from the free throw line? Points are points, I don't care where they come from.
So when Eric Gordon drives in an initiates contact its not a foul? But when the defense use contact to keep Eric Gordon from the lane, its grabbing and bumping and hacking? The defender has every right to a spot that the offensive player has, except when both players are getting there and Gordon loses the ball, the official immediately whistles a foul. Its not just Gordon, its a lot of players. Thats more of a complaint on officials than him, but that will NOT translate to the NBA. He will never go 3-12 in an NBA game and get over 20 points. He gets plenty of open looks that he misses, he usually shoots from so far away the defense can't get out in time. He is an inconsistent 3 point shooter at best. JJ Redick was a quantity shooter, just like Gordon. Players that score 20 a game get built up, but most of the time its because of so many shots that they take and not the quality of their game.
idiot. he's also 19 years old. get a clue moron
LOL, if you could get your mouth of his dick long enough to look at the stat line, you might actually not have such a man crush on him.

I concur I do not want any one and dones on Purdue's team, just takes up a scholly for someone who could contribute for 4 years.
turdue will and has had no such problem your run of mill program will never attract such talent
Yeah, just the top rated recruiting class in the Big Ten last year. We will never get any recruits. I bet all four of our freshman score more points and win more games in their career than Eric Gordon will at IU.
Purdue may not be able to land a 5 star recruit, but guess what, we don't need them. Our scrubs and outcasts somehow are tied for 1st place in the Big Ten with MJ, Scottie, and the rest of the Chicago Bulls. What are you guys going to do without Phil Jackson though?

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves."
