It's almost time for the Boilers of summer. Starting in just a few weeks, all four of Purdue's seniors are expected to take the floor for NBA Summer League action, hoping to prove they belong in the league.

Braden Smith and Trey Kaufman-Renn were both taken in the second round of the NBA Draft. It was the first time since 2011 that multiple Boilermakers were selected in the same draft since 2011 (JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore).

Fletcher Loyer and Oscar Cluff were both picked up as undrafted free agents. It's an exciting accomplishment for the program, and it allows fans to catch some of the all-time Purdue greats in action.

This week, multiple NBA teams revealed their schedules for upcoming Summer League action. Here's how you can catch each Boilermaker in action, including a matchup between Smith and Kaufman-Renn on Wednesday, July 15.
