2016 NBA Draft Profile: A.J. Hammons

We're less than a week from the 2016 NBA Draft. Next Thursday night we will find out where A.J. Hammons will be headed after four long years in West Lafayette. While the team achievements came up short for the most part in his four years (just two NCAA appearances, no wins there, and no Big Ten titles), Hammons leaves Purdue with some excellent career numbers. He was beloved by Purdue fans for the joy he played with on the floor and we, as fans, are happy to send him off to the League. He will very likely be the first Purdue player drafted since Robbie Hummel in 2012, and there is a chance he becomes the first player from Purdue to go in the first round since JaJuan Johnson in 2011.
