NBA Purdue Players: Moore & Hammons Make Opening Day Rosters
I received a press release this morning from the excellent Chris Forman, Purdue’s basketball SID. It outlines that A.J. Hammons and E’Twaun Moore both made the opening day rosters of their respective NBA teams. Moore of course, got paid this offseason with a 4-year $34 million contract with New Orleans, but Hammons will make his NBA debut tomorrow night in Indianapolis (and you can still get tickets). A.J. will become the 34th former Purdue Player to play in at least one NBA game, but this stat stood out to me:
Purdue has had at least two players appear in an NBA game in a season for 36 consecutive years.
