Ryan Cline is a winner pure and simple. Cline can get hot and burn you for 25 points as he showed yesterday. He can also go cold for a game or two but contributes in other ways like passing, rebounding, and keeping the team under control. You give him 5 games and there is no way he doesnt sink at least 2 threes a game while shooting above 40% from deep. Cline has shown that he is a capable passer and a great teammate. His basketball savy and IQ is off the charts. He simply makes teams better, no matter what level.

Purdue is lucky to have a player like Cline. Will he be a top 100 player? Who knows, but we can clearly see what Purdue is getting in a player like Cline and he will be a welcome member.

What do you guys think of Cline and his career, along with his potential impact on Purdue's team.
