1 Day to Purdue Basketball: Aaron Wheeler

Today we feature one of the most exciting players on the roster.

Stamford, CT (Brewster Academy)

6’9”, 200 pounds

Forward

2019-20 Projection: Starter at Forward

In last year’s game of inches that was the loss to Virginia Wheeler had one of the most cruel turnovers in the first half. Just before a media timeout he appeared to beat the shot clock for a big 3-pointer, but the replay revealed he got it off a split second too late. As you know, Purdue went on to lose in overtime, but those three points (plus the “did he get his foot behind the line” two from Carsen in the second half) ended up being huge.
