How can Michigan exploit Purdue’s stellar defense?
Michigan Wolverines basketball junior center Hunter Dickinson (7-1, 260) is set to match up with Purdue big Zach Edey (7-4, 305), the frontrunner for national player of the year honors. Edey is one of the top rim protectors in the game, averaging 2.3 blocks per outing and denying a whopping 8.7 of opponents’ shots when he’s on the floor.
Dickinson is generating 0.942 points per post-up possession for the season, per Synergy. But that may not be the way to go against Edey, who’s tough to score on in the low post. Purdue ranks 37th in the country allowing opponents to shoot just 45.7 percent on two-pointers, too.
Evidenced by last season’s performances against Purdue, when Dickinson scored 28 and 22 points, respectively, Michigan’s big man has some answers.
Those answers include his improved outside shooting. Six of his 21 made threes last year game against Purdue, and only on nine attempts. He was fantastic in the pick-and-pop game, stretching Edey (and the Boilermakers’ other bigs, including Trevion Williams) out to the perimeter.
