Many of Purdue’s best teams have been great because of guards that place a priority on defense. Today’s player definitely fits that description and more.

Guard
2019-20 Projection: Starter
Nojel has always been a very good defender, but his development as an all around player the past two seasons has been borderline astounding. Last season he became an elite defender. He was a guy we could put on an opposing star and tell him to just shut that guy down.
