I saw a highlight reel of a recent Purdue game in which Isaac Haas had a strong performance, and for a moment it took me back almost 50 years to the Lew Alcindor era at UCLA. An honest-to-goodness post player. Haas might be the closest thing you will see to Alcindor today. I am not talking here about ability (Alcindor was the greatest) but about style. Remember the sky-hook? Remember a true low-post player. Ah, the good old days.
And, wonder of wonders, Haas has not attempted so much as a single 3-pointer this season.
