KOKOMO \u2014 Two incoming Purdue freshmen and two Boilermaker senior-to-be recruiting targets took the floor Wednesday night in Kokomo\u2019s Memorial Gym, as the Indiana All-Star team won its second exhibition game again the junior all-stars, 104-96<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a breakdown of how those players performed.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>\n<\/div>\n

PURDUE 2025 TARGET TRENT SISLEY<\/h2>\n

Trent Sisley <\/a><\/strong>was excellent on this night, his jumper on the money all evening. <\/p>\n

Personnel dynamics miscast him as a de facto center, where resistance is generally futile against Kansas-bound Mr. Basketball Flory Bidunga<\/a><\/strong> (34 points, 22 rebounds), but to Sisley\u2019s credit he often flipped the matchup on Bidunga, giving the big man problems by moving without the ball and working out of ball-screen pick-and-pop action.<\/p>\n

Sisley, who\u2019ll be a stretch 4 at the next level, made 4-of-5 from three-point range and led the juniors with 18 points. His perimeter skills really shined.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-8 forward also again went after favorable matchups on post-ups, and made two more step-back jumpers, as he\u2019s been doing this spring for Indiana Elite on the adidas circuit.<\/p>\n

PURDUE 2025 TARGET BRAYLON MULLINS<\/h2>\n

One of the hottest recruits in America right now, emergent Greenfield-Central wing Braylon Mullins<\/a><\/strong> showed some of what has put his name top of mind for so many elite programs in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

He is a high-, high-level shot-maker with a quick release, unwavering confidence and height enough to make most closeouts wasted effort. More so, he is an excellent shot-creator, able to carve out space for himself, get to his spots and shoot from multiple levels.<\/p>\n

But as high-end a shooter and scorer as he is, he is also a premier athlete, particularly explosive at the rim, with height, length and tenacity enough to have real potential as a wing defender in college, particularly as he keeps developing physically. If Mullins were just a very good shooter instead of a great one, he\u2019d still easily be a high-major prospect.<\/p>\n

Mullins was 6-of-8 from the floor at Kokomo, finishing with 13 points, four rebounds and three assists.<\/p>\n

PURDUE FRESHMAN JACK BENTER<\/h2>\n

While Bidunga was a force at the rim, Jack Benter<\/a><\/strong> was the senior\u2019s perimeter-scoring equilibrium, with one of those shooting nights he enjoys regularly. The state champ and Mr. Basketball runner-up scored 19 points, making four of his first five threes and finishing 5-of-8.<\/p>\n

Benter is a big guard, at 6-6, now 215 pounds, and right out of central casting for Purdue as a shooter, passer and offensive piece. He is such a refined offensive player, clearly superbly coached during his formative years, as is evident in how he moves without the ball, establishes angles and operates in screening actions as either the ball-handler or the screener, which could open up some possibilities for Purdue in the future. <\/p>\n

There are probably some athletic\/fluidity limitations, but he can really jump \u2014 his grassroots program used to run plays to set him up for lobs and Benter actually broke a backboard last year \u2014 and is a more physical player than many in his positional category. He\u2019s always been an effective post-up player and grabbed at least one contested rebound Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>\n<\/div>\n

PURDUE FRESHMAN AARON FINE<\/h2>\n

The incoming Purdue preferred walk-on was a steal, a Fine pick-up, if you will. He\u2019s shown in high school and on a tremendous Indiana Elite team during his grassroots career to be a very good player and certainly capable of playing, at worst, low-major Division I basketball, if not mid-major. Not just being on a team. Playing<\/em>. <\/p>\n

The point guard from Noblesville got to the basket a few times Wednesday night and made 3-of-4 shots, finishing with six points and four assists in just 13-and-a-half minutes.<\/p>\n
