Fletcher Loyer, the Purdue standout who topped the Boilermakers' all‑time 3‑point list, has agreed to a one‑year Exhibit 10 contract with the Los Angeles Clippers, a move that comes after he was not selected in the 2026 NBA Draft.
A Purdue legacy in the making
During his four‑year stint in West Lafayette, Loyer amassed 1,829 points, averaging 12.3 per game, and knocked down 309 three‑pointers at a 41 % clip, numbers that helped the Boilermakers capture two Big Ten regular‑season titles, two tournament crowns and a run to the 2024 national championship game.
Coaches have repeatedly praised his quick release and his feel for the game, traits that have earned him the nickname of a ‘basketball savant’ among teammates and analysts alike.
The Clippers’ front office sees the Exhibit 10 deal as a low‑risk opportunity to evaluate the sharpshooter’s fit on a roster that already boasts a deep backcourt, and the contract includes a path to a standard NBA deal should he make the final 15‑man list.
If the experiment succeeds, Loyer could become the latest product of Purdue’s basketball factory to carve out a niche in the NBA, joining a lineage of alumni who have turned college precision into professional impact.
