Senior guard who brought steady depth to Pacific
Allan Purnell’s most visible Pacific season was 2004-05, when he played limited minutes but gave the Tigers backcourt veteran depth and hustle, posting 0.8 points, 0.8 rebounds, and 0.3 assists per game while shooting 30.6% from the field. He was not a stat-sheet headliner, but his value was in role-player reliability, guard versatility, and a willingness to do the unglamorous stuff—exactly the kind of fit that helps a deeper team survive a long season.
