Why Purdue basketball has a Patrick Mahomes situation with guard to watch in Big Ten
Antione West Jr. may have been developing into a star in the shadows of Purdue stars last season. And Matt Painter believes he'll be among Big Ten's best.
Purdue men's basketball coach Matt Painter likened guard Antione West Jr.'s redshirt season to NFL star Patrick Mahomes' 2017 rookie year. Painter explained how Mahomes sat out a single game but then exploded on the scene, becoming the league's best player just a year later. West, who did not play a minute last season while serving as a redshirt, has demonstrated elite skill during practice and defensive drills. He projected to be one of the league's premier guards.
