Purdue basketball shifts style following key player graduations

Purdue University's men's basketball team is entering a new era following the graduation of key players Braden Smith, Trey Kaufman-Renn, and Fletcher Loyer. Observations from the team's recent foreign tour in British Columbia, Canada, suggest a significant stylistic shift for the Boilermakers.

Coach Matt Painter indicated that the roster is moving away from a traditional post-up offense. Instead, the team appears focused on ball movement and perimeter shooting. During their tour, the team attempted 46 percent of their shots from deep, a trend Painter compared to his 2017-18 squad.
