He got better every single game at Kansas. The last guy who came in and got so much noticiably better each game as a freshmanat Kansas was Joel Embiid. When we got racked with injuries on a senior laden team, he was inserted into the starting lineup and single handedly kept us in the NCAA Tournament 3-4 seed line. We could have easily been an 8-10 seed without him.
Johnny is great addition because he's effective offensively without the ball. I had him as a first round pick. His only downside is he's soft defensively. He needs to toughen up and he'll be good.
Right? And he will if his family (and he grew up playing) Australian Football. There will be no issue in him toughening up. How could recruiters be so stupid on this one? Gonna be great to watch him prove them all wrong.
@@George2647g I watched the game yesterday and his defense was really good. But NBA scouts said it was a concern. Furphy was projected to go 18th in ESPN mock draft. I think we got a steal
@@Gurusson-qr5np "needs to toughen up" is an absolutely WILD thing to say about a dude who has played Australian Rules Football (at an elite level) his entire life. Do yourself a favour and type "AFL Biggest Hits" or something similar into the TH-cam search bar. You'll see what we mean when we say Johnny Furphy is easily as tough as ANY basketball player you'll come across. And i truly do mean ANY player. 😅😅
Omg, I love his accent! Watched him score tonight twice and he is really good and thoughtful in his movements. I actually teared up seeing him have his first big moment tonight! He looks like a baby.
Since he was drafted in the early 2nd round, anyone know if he signed a 2 way contract or just a NBA contract? I really hope we keep Newton and he gets a opportunity!!
FurphDog gonna be nice man. Excited for this kids. Great shot. Quick release. Smart player
6'-9" 200lbs SF
Exciting for our SF future in Indy!
Next Aussie Goat, steal of the draft, wish we got him

What a steal for the Pacers - recruiters can be very stupid sometimes.. I think this is one of those times..

baby lauri
Troy Murphy is that you? 👀
This guy seems like a steal falling so much, unfortunately Carlisle won’t play him.

He signed a 4 year 8.6mil contract no two way
And I agree Newton will raise their guard defensive floor and could be Andrews replacement if they can't resign him by next year
