This idea was proposed in our staff group chat earlier today, but it got me wondering as we are now 10 games into the season:
Is Dakota Mathias Purdue’s second best player?
First of all, Caleb Swanigan has clearly been Purdue’s best guy. While he continues to have turnover issues (as he addressed after yesterday’s game), he is an automatic double-double every night and a threat for a triple-double with his passing. He is likely going to lead the Big Ten in rebounding for a second straight season and offensively he is more diverse than ever.
But what about Mathias?
