With the great news that AJ is returning for his 3rd season, optimism is finally returning to Purdue basketball. Forget about what our record will be next year, but how many more wins will we get with Hammons than without him ie how many extra wins is he worth.
His defense and blocking will be a game changer in some games, getting opponents to foul out is another plus, and if we actually have a PG that wants to pass along with much improved 3 point shooting that should open up opportunities for him to dominate scoring or have 2-3 defenders on him opening up Stephens and/or Mathias for 3's or Davis or Smotherman cutting to the basket.
