For a team without many holes, Purdue certainly has a lot of questions. Maybe none bigger than what Basil Smotherman will bring to the team this year. Remember him? The redshirt Junior who took a redshirt last year amidst a crowded rotation to keep one more year of eligibility after seeing his minutes drop from 19 minutes a game his freshman year to just 13 minutes a game his sophomore year.
It’s been over a year since we’ve seen him on the court. What do we remember? What can we expect?
Basil Smotherman - RS Junior

2016-17 Projection: Key Wing/Fringe Starter
Last year’s decision both made sense and was a little strange at the same time.
