Purdue head coach Matt Painter is expected to watch Stephens play tonight. Stephens' dad Everette Stephens was a standout at Purdue and NBA player himself.
Stephens, who is averaging 18 points per game on just 12 shot attempts per game, has a surprisingly mature game.
"Kendall has a 6-foot-9 wingspan and a pure stroke and smoothness to his game that belies his years," said Mullins.
Northwestern and Wisconsin have already offered Stephens.
