After losing for seniors there are a lot of questions around Purdue basketball heading into 2018-19. Forgotten in many of these questions are Aaron Wheeler and Sasha Stefanovic. Because Purdue’s seniors were so big last year, both ended up redshirting, lest they see little to no playing time. Now, for the second straight summer, they will be representing USA basketball overseas:
Purdue redshirt freshmen Sasha Stefanovic and Aaron Wheeler will travel to Italy as part of the USA East Coast roster, leaving Aug. 1, for an eight-day trip.
The team, which consists of 12 players from around the country and is coached by Hall of Famer Larry Brown, will play four games against national teams from Germany, Italy and the Netherlands in addition to a game against Italy’s Vicenza Select.
