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?
