Conversation with Lafayette Journal & Courier Purdue beat writer Nathan Baird

Purdue rode a senior-heavy lineup to a 30-7 record and Sweet 16 apperance this past season, meaning a mostly new look in 2018-19. Lafayette Journal & Courier beat writer Nathan Baird weighs in on all things Boilermakers:

Which of Purdue's seniors stands the best chance of catching on with an NBA team?

Vincent Edwards has always been the best NBA prospect in this class, even more so as the league increasingly values versatility. Ironically, in some ways it's also the reason he may not get drafted. NBA scouts tell me they see a player who does a lot of things well but doesn't necessarily do anything great.
