C.J. Cox is emerging as Purdue’s efficient two-way combo guard
C.J. Cox has grown into a reliable Purdue backcourt piece, averaging 8.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in the 2025-26 season while shooting 45.7% from the field, and his value goes beyond the box score: he can hit timely threes, defend with activity and has already shown he can deliver in big games, including a 23-point outburst as a freshman. He looks like a strong fit for teams that want a poised, versatile guard who competes hard and adds winning intangibles rather than volume scoring.[4][1][3]
