Purdue only played one scholarship freshman this season. The remainder of the 2019 recruiting class sat in a redshirt, gaining experience behind the scenes. The one that did play, however, is one that I am extremely familiar with.
Isaiah Thompson – Sophomore in 2020-21
2019-20 Stats: 31 Games played, 0 starts. 18.7 mpg, 5.6 ppg, 1.1 rpg, 0.67 apg, 35.4% FG, 35.4% 3FG, 67.7% FT 24 turnovers (negative asst/TO ratio)
Overall I think it was a decent debut season for Isaiah. He proved to be a solid reserve guard off the bench that played within the system and could occasionally provide a scoring punch.
