Ex-Purdue star Trey Kaufman-Renn enters portal, sources say

Former Purdue star Trey Kaufman-Renn, who was granted a TRO on Wednesday for a sixth season of eligibility, has entered the transfer portal, sources told ESPN.

Kaufman-Renn was drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 59th pick of June's NBA draft, but he never signed a contract despite playing five NBA summer league games with the team. A source with the Timberwolves told ESPN that the team is "supportive" of Kaufman-Renn's decision to return to college basketball.

In late August, however, Kaufman-Renn filed a motion seeking a TRO against the NCAA for another season of eligibility. His argument centered around his redshirt season, saying he would not have used it under the new NCAA five-for-five age-based eligibility model and played only four seasons instead of five.

I guess it makes sense, the NCAA is paying a lot better than the G league - especially if the Timberwolves are cool with it.

Does Minnesota keep his draft rights? It is an interesting concept if the NBA and NCAA just commit to it fully. In hockey, players get drafted to the NHL and then keep playing for their college team. It might work out once we all get used to the change.

NBA draft rights can persist for years. There are trades including draft rights for unsigned players in years past. My research found that the franchise needs to make some kind of offer, but if the draftee does not sign, the team continues to have rights to the player.

The most famous case of NBA draft rights was Larry Bird. The Celtics drafted him 6th in 1978 and he returned to ISU for his senior season, signing with Boston before the 1979 draft.
