Purdue Boilermakers News - College Basketball (2024)

Trey Kaufman-Renn - Numbers expected to spike Kaufman-Renn is expected to have his numbers spike during Purdue's next season, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.Impact During the Purdue team's 2023-24 season, Kaufman-Renn and Zach Edey were the Boilermakers' primary big men, with Edey getting a lot of chances with the ball. But now that Purdue's team is without the reigning two-time Naismith Player of the Year, a primary scorer and rebounder, at least some of Kaufmann-Renn's numbers are expected to spike up. He averaged 6.4 points and 4.0 rebounds across his 39 games started for the 2023-24 Boilermakers. But with Edey out, Kaufman-Renn has a legitimate chance to average at least 10 points and five rebounds during his junior season. JULY 13 • ROTOWIRE
