Trey Kaufman-Renn was in Zach Edey's shadow last season. Purdue coach Matt Painter says more opportunities are coming the way of the Boilermakers' forward.
Over the last two seasons, Trey Kaufman-Renn has been somewhat hidden behind Zach Edey's shadow. But with the 7-foot-4 center now in the NBA, the Purdue junior forward has walked into the spotlight with an opportunity to showcase his skills this coming basketball season.
Entering the 2024-25 season, coach Matt Painter believes Kaufman-Renn has all the skills necessary to be an All-Big Ten-caliber player. He said the junior forward is looking forward to his time to shine. Painter believes Kaufman-Renn's versatility can be a true asset, allowing Purdue to play more of a "small ball" style if necessary.
Kaufman-Renn was marvelous in a Jan. 5 victory over Illinois, scoring 23 points while making eight-of-12 shots. In Purdue’s first two tournament games against Grambling and Utah State, the forward totaled 29 points and 15 rebounds in a pair of blowout victories.
