Re: Rodney Purvis
V on his radio show spent a lot of time on free throws. His method of teaching was to find a spot on the front of the rim and "push" the ball just over that point.

RE: Rodney Purvis
Part of being a slashing guard is drawing fouls and going to the line. If he cant hit his FTs it makes being a slasher (which is his game) hard. I don't know what was so wrong with that post. --------------------------------------------- --- Bryanth1a wrote: ncsuwolfpack13 wrote: Rodney's fine. You can tell by his twitter that all he cares about is winning. I think a big part of Rodney's struggles has been his inability to hit FTs. It's hard to be a slasher when you can't hit FTs. Also hitting a few fts helps your confidence as a scorer tremendously.  --------------------------------------------- |

Re: Rodney Purvis
Purvis is still a starter. We need him in that role. Also shows the coaches have faith in him. Sometimes game flow dictates who gets minutes, and yesterday the lineup with Wood and TJ at the wings was working down the stretch.
But for this team to be it's best, a fast breaking lineup that includes RP is essential. He'll get it figured out, including the free throws.

He'll learn to play through and thrive on contact to the basket. NC State is the place to come if a player wants to prepare for the NBA.

Yep, Rodney is struggling just a bit, but I really like his intensity and desire. He is a very talented guy, and I hope to have him here for quite a while. He will be a big part of this team, he's due for a big game, and I think it's coming soon. We're behind you Rodney!!!

Re: Rodney Purvis
I'm sure he got fouled alot in HS. was he always this bad at foul shots? I honestly don't see how its possible for this kids at this level to shoot as bad as some do from the line. they are obviously a gifted basketball player. its not like the goal moves or your guarded. the goal has been in the same spot along with the line in every jym across the country. it doesn't change. the wind doesn't affect the shot. I realize fatigue can play a factor. that's my point how can players not just purvis and warren be such poor at the line. you here about big men in their recruitment as needing to work on it but we never or I never heard a word as to how bad those two are at the line. maybe itsjust confidence.

Re: Rodney Purvis
The foul shooting is mental. It's not easy shooting in that environment. To me, Rodney has looked self-conscious at times. All those eyes and pressure are magnified at the line. He'll grow out of it. If you think Purvis isn't practicing foul shots, I don't know what to tell you. Quite frankly, you're claiming he's insane.

RE: Rodney Purvis
My 15 year old son was at the game early on Saturday. He said he hit 10 in a row from the FT line in warm ups. This kid is going to be awesome for State. It's all mental right now. He's a smart kid and will blow up one day. We need him and he will deliver. He's one of our cornerstone players beginning next year. Love his game. Can't wait to see him hit his groove again. He and TL in the back court next year will be a thing of beauty.

Re: Rodney Purvis
I've been pretty impressed with character and maturity the freshmen have shown this season, especially Lewis and Purvis. At the beginning of the season Lewis wasn't getting many minutes and looked a little overwhelmed at times. When Brown went down, Lewis got thrown in and the game seemed to slow down for him and he was great. But he wasn't publicly complaining about pt or pouting on the bench. Purvis handled the whole academic issue better than anyone could expect and he'll handle this little rough patch just as well. He'll bounce back in a couple of games and the 3 guard rotation we'll have will be scary good.

RE: Rodney Purvis
HotRodney is putting to much pressure on himself. Needs to relax and have fun like he does when he jams one. He is a team guy and his guys will bring him around. He may feel like he's not pulling his load but he is. The way State shares the ball, everybody gets their shot.
On this team, the leader of the pack can change every game. State's game is so much fun to watch, it's hard to watch some of these other teams play. I've lost interest in the dribble, dribble teams. Next year is going to be great also, with HotRodney and Cat and Tyler slicing and dicing, lace 'em up boys!

If he didn't take another 3 all year I wouldn't be upset. Slash slash slash, play defense and get out on the break.

Bingo.
Side note - every time I read you old farts complaining about tech you don't understand or know how to use (typically Twitter these days), it reminds me of stories from the 50s about gyrating Elvis hips being the devil's work. Hilarious.

Re: Rodney Purvis
He's fine, he just needs to work out of his funk. He's missing FT's, layups, and turns it over. Lewis hits his FT's and doesn't turn it over. He's more likely to get the end of game minutes when the score is tight.

But it was like they must have spent a lot of time going over something at halftime with RP and he didn't do as coached. I mean 2 times down the court he was yanked, never to be seen again

Don't think you've given the ball up all year on a break. This x's 10000. I've been saying the same thing. ANd Calvin is just as predictable. Other teams have watched enough film to see that each time Rodney and CJ get the ball and start driving to the hoop, there's no chance either is gonna dish to an open man. Actually CJ will occasionally dish it if he's caught in a situation where three defenders have him surrounded and he can't get his arms extended enough to force up a shot.

Re: Rodney Purvis
i think a part of purvis' problems on offense are a result of his tremendous effort on the defensive end. he's asked to guard the other team's best perimeter player and he is just not used to expending that much energy on defense. i think he's been doing a great job defending. his lack of passing is just part of the college learning curve. no one could stop his drives in high school so he never had to pass. he will learn.
