As Purdue's 2026-27 basketball team prepares for the start of practice, a new focus emerges in the form of pressing questions surrounding the guards on the roster. C.J. Cox, the most decorated player, has the talent to become a high-volume scorer but will he be able to translate his role player efficiency into aggressiveness?

Luke Ertel, a true freshman point guard with shooting and defensive skills, may rise as Purdue's best option off the bench. Jacob Webber, a 6-6 true freshman with an impressive shooting stroke, might not see the court right away but could emerge as a breakout player in time. Lastly, Jack Benter, a sophomore shooter who struggled to maintain his freshman three-point percentage, continues to be a key playmaker with elite defensive abilities.
