With the season starting tonight for Purdue Basketball, let’s take a look at three strengths and three weaknesses that could mean success or struggles for the Boilermakers this season.
Strengths for Purdue:
1 | Front Court Depth
No secrets here. Matt Painter has built a formula for the success for Purdue basketball with space-eating, skilled, high ceiling big men alongside three point shooters. In his time at Purdue, Painter has enjoyed a plethora of talented players in the front court like Carl Landry, JaJuan Johnson, AJ Hammons, Isaac Haas, Caleb Swanigan, Matt Haarms, Trevion Williams, Zach Edey, Caleb Furst, Trey-Kaufman Renn, and hopefully Will Berg.
