Darian VaziriHOST
We haven't announced that third two-way player.
Darian VaziriHOST
Fletcher Loyer played in this game.
Darian VaziriHOST
Yuki Kawamura played in this game.
Darian VaziriHOST
But Blake Wesley, you know, he's somebody who did a really good job against the Clippers, and he only played 31 games last season, but one of those games that I can recall was the game early on in the season against us at Intuit, and they lost, but he was active.

Darian VaziriHOST
That scored on very easily by, I forget, I think it might have been Yaxil, or no, it was Gui Santos.
Darian VaziriHOST
Um, but he did get on the score, uh, scoreboard on a pick and roll getting fouled.
Darian VaziriHOST
Fletcher Loyer played seven minutes.
Darian VaziriHOST
I thought that he looked lost out there on defense.
John RothsteinHOST
Third question, as we look at five big questions entering the Big Ten.
John RothsteinHOST
What will Purdue look like without Braden Smith, Fletcher Lawyer, and Trey Kaufman Wren? Well, I will say this.
John RothsteinHOST
This is going to be, in my opinion, as challenged as Matt Painter has been entering a season in quite a long time.
John RothsteinHOST
Because you look right now at the totality of those careers, Braden Smith, Fletcher Lawyer, Trey Kaufman-Wren.
John RothsteinHOST
As freshmen, and I know Trey Kaufman ran redshirted, but as freshmen, those guys, okay, were a part of a team that won the big regular season title, the Big Ten tournament title, and then were a one seed in the NCAA tournament.
John RothsteinHOST
I know they lost to Fairleigh Dickinson, but think about the winning that those guys did.
John RothsteinHOST
Then as sophomores, that Troika, Smith, TKR, Fletcher, Lawyer, were again a one seed in the NCAA tournament, and got Purdue to the Final Four for the first time since 1980, losing to UConn in the national championship game.
John RothsteinHOST
Then, as juniors, that Troika goes all the way to the Sweet 16, loses a heartbreaker to Houston, and then as seniors, they go to the Elite Eight and lose to Arizona.
EricHOST
They don't have Braden Smith.
EricHOST
They don't have Fletcher Lawyer.
EricHOST
You know, they don't have Trey Kaufman.
EricHOST
So there's definitely some pieces they're missing there.
34 MINS LATER
EricHOST
He played at Lalu last year.
EricHOST
And so I feel like, you know, we just kind of talked about a guy who's maybe a Braden Smith.
EricHOST
This guy is like maybe a Fletcher Lawyer.
EricHOST
They just kind of get these guys in pairs every four years now.
Brandon GogginsHOST
That's all you can really ask for.
Brandon GogginsHOST
Um, [sniffs] Fletcher Loyer, um, he didn't really even...
Brandon GogginsHOST
Th-this, this is, like, kind of irrelevant, but, like, I just thought-- I was like, "He kinda giving me Luke Kennard vibes." Like, so he popped up on the TV, I thought it was Luke Kennard.
Brandon GogginsHOST
I was like, "Hold on, I'm getting flashbacks." Um, I don't know if that's gonna end up being a great comparison, but that's just what popped into my head when I saw him.
Nick GarvinHOST
Because a lot of these young players, and there's gonna be a ton of them, ton of sophomores, ton of freshmen, these guys are going to be key pieces for this team going forward.
Nick GarvinHOST
And I'm not gonna say one of these guys is going to be a Braden Smith, a Fletcher Loyer in four years, but the talent's there.
Nick GarvinHOST
You know, these recruiting classes continue to get better and better and better, and we've seen what Matt Painter has consistently done with some of these guys.
Nick GarvinHOST
So, uh, I, I look at Antwan West, really, you, you were asking for a name.
Kraig BowersHOST
But at the same time, it, it might be time for Purdue fans [chuckles] just to kind of realize where his ceiling is from that regard, and understand that there's other things he can stu- still do really well with the type of body that he has that can be really impactful for this team.
Joe JacksonHOST
He's an interesting one because I, I think he falls a bit in, almost into the Fletcher/Lawyer area where like, and we said this on a, multiple shows for multiple years for Fletch, it's like when he made a mistake it was very, very loud and very, very noticeable.
Joe JacksonHOST
Now it's still just one mistake, right? Maybe Lawyer got blown by defensively and it's two points.
Joe JacksonHOST
Like, at the end of the day it doesn't matter, two points are two points.
Joe JacksonHOST
It, it's only one possession.
7 MINS LATER
Joe JacksonHOST
Pierce can get to the line a decent bit.
Joe JacksonHOST
Jacobson will get to the line a decent bit.
Joe JacksonHOST
Um, yeah, like, uh, yeah, this is a team, I mean, what, they were 99th in free throw percentage last year at 74.6%, but a lot of that had to do with, like, Loyer took, um, the second-most free throws on the team.
