Kaufman-Renn becomes the third Purdue player to hit 1,000 points this season. Both Braden Smith and Fletcher Loyer — also juniors — hit the milestone earlier this season. It's been an impressive year for all three, as they're the team's top three scorers during the 2024-25 campaign.
This season, Kaufman-Renn is averaging 19.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game while shooting better than 61% from the floor. He's become one of the Big Ten's top big men in a short amount of time.
