After showing flashes of success last season for Purdue,<\/span>\u00a0Trey Kaufman-Renn<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0has an opportunity to leap. Going into his Sophomore Year,\u00a0<\/span>Coach Matt Painter<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0expects a larger role for Trey.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trey Kaufman-Renn Will Take A Giant Leap<\/span><\/h2>\n

Looking at Last Season<\/span><\/h3>\n

Productive and Efficient<\/span><\/h4>\n

Trey produced in his minutes for\u00a0<\/span>Purdue\u00a0<\/span><\/a>last season, shooting nearly 50% from the field. He averaged 4.5 points and almost two rebounds in 11 minutes a game. Trey’s production came from a skilled post-up game and an ability to score as a backup center. More importantly, he shot 68% on field goal attempts at the rim last season. Over half of his field goal attempts (53%) came at the basket, and many against taller centers. Kaufmann-Renn produces and demands attention in the low post.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trey Kaufmann-Renn also produces ripping and driving to the basket, making him a versatile piece for Painter and the Boilermakers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Passing<\/span><\/h4>\n

He passed the ball well from the post, or on his drives to the basket. Possessing an assist rate of 14%, Kauffman-Renn has a great basketball IQ, and instincts to read the defense. Especially playing with shooters and\u00a0<\/span>Zach Edey<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, at times, his ability to pass makes him a threat to deal with.<\/span><\/p>\n
