    he's not an ariza replacement cause he's nowhere that capable on defense

    @saleem i wouldn't say he's fast but i'd say he's athletic. strong, crafty finisher at the rim too. big part of why purdue was such a great offensive team

    lot of offensive positives about his game but i don't really see him making the team still lol

    Being a Boilermaker, I watch several games this year. It's not all dunks. He shot 47% from the field, 39% from 3 & 83% FT's. Also has a career 52% from the field in NCAA tournament games. Also, Purdue played a lot like the Rockets in that they played a switching defense & relied 3's, drives to the basket & center play. They rotated two 7'ers at the 5 & basically ran a 4 guard offense, with V. Edwards being the tallest & least mobile guard.

    V. Edwards can shoot, handle the ball & is a very good switching defender. He is average in mobility & athleticism. He can run a team in spots, but not as the primary ball handler, maybe the 3rd ball handler. Isaac Haas was the offensive senior 7-2 center on that team & I wouldn't mind him being an undrafted signee for RGV.

    Looks like a modern small ball 4. Good off the dribble and a proven shot. Good feet and length.

    As nbadraft.net noted, he's a B to B+ in everything, but not an A at anything. Don't see any obvious weaknesses. A lesser Robert Horry maybe?

    Prince Luc with a jumper, or simply Trevor Ariza :D

    On the real though, I see him panning out to something like a Reggie Bullock. Good 8th man.

    How much cash did we use of the alloted $5.1 mil?

    Edit: 1.5 mil. Leaves us with 3.6 mil to work in transactions before July.

    Doesn't sound too bad, as long as he can improve on shooting and defense.
