Casey and I continue our review of the 2021-2022 Purdue Men’s Basketball squad and take a look ahead to next season. Mason Gillis was the player that caused the biggest disagreement between Casey and I this season. I’ve been a fan of his since day one and believed that he would be a key part of last season’s squad. While Casey did not exactly disagree that Gillis could play a role he was of the opinion that Caleb Furst was the future of the position and would outplay Gillis as the season wore on.
Gillis began to outplay Furst, and Furst got Covid, and never gave up the starting spot.
