Cutoff/status: 2026-07-18; signed an Exhibit 10 contract with LAC on 2026-06-25 after going undrafted, age 22, 6-foot-4 guard out of Purdue. An Exhibit 10 is a one-year, non-guaranteed minimum deal with a camp invitation; it can be converted to a two-way, and LA has one two-way slot open behind Sean Pedulla and Nick Martinelli. His father, John Loyer, is the Clippers' director of pro scouting. Hoops Rumors, 2026-06-25 · Purdue athletics release · Los Angeles Clippers
Baseline and 2026-27 projection
Loyer led the Big Ten in three-point percentage as a senior at 43.2% and made 309 threes across four Purdue seasons at 41.1% for his career. The shooting is the entire case; size, athleticism and defensive projection are the reasons he was undrafted. Hoops Rumors

The base projection is zero NBA games. He is not on a guaranteed or two-way contract at this cutoff, and he receives no share of the 240-minute allocation.
Fantasy translation
- Nine-category / points: not rosterable. Even a two-way conversion would make him a G League shooter with occasional appearances.
- Dynasty: watchlist in 300-plus-player leagues only, on the theory that elite college three-point volume is the most portable single skill for an undrafted guard.
Role and scenarios
- Low: waived at the end of camp and assigned to San Diego on the Exhibit 10 G League retention, with no NBA games.
- Base: camp body; the roster decision resolves before opening night without an NBA appearance.
- High: converts to the open third two-way and plays a handful of low-leverage NBA games as a floor-spacer.

Career record
Pre-NBA: Four seasons at Purdue, all as a starter, with the shooting improving every year.
| College season | Team | GP | MPG | PTS | REB | AST | STL | FG% | 3P% | FT% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022-23 | Purdue | 35 | 28.9 | 11.0 | 1.7 | 2.4 | 0.6 | .367 | .326 | .794 |
| 2023-24 | Purdue | 39 | 27.8 | 10.3 | 2.1 | 1.9 | 0.8 | .416 | .444 | .861 |
| 2024-25 | Purdue | 36 | 30.9 | 13.8 | 2.1 | 1.8 | 0.5 | .465 | .444 | .848 |

He finished with 1,829 career points (11th at Purdue) and 309 three-pointers, a school record. He led the Big Ten in three-point percentage as a junior at .444 and finished second as a senior at .432; his 112 threes in 2025-26 are the second-highest single-season total in program history, and he made multiple threes in 19 straight games. Three-time All-Big Ten honorable mention. Draft: undrafted (2026); signed an Exhibit 10 with the Clippers on June 25, 2026.
No NBA record. Loyer has never appeared in an NBA regular-season game. His most recent competitive season is the 2025-26 Purdue line above.
Durability: No missed-time issues to report. He appeared in 149 of a possible 149 games across four seasons and started all 39 as a senior.
Trajectory: A four-year starter whose case rests entirely on one elite, well-documented skill — 309 threes at 41.1 percent across 149 college games is about as much shooting evidence as a prospect can accumulate. The reasons he went undrafted are equally documented: 2.0 assists and 0.7 steals a game from a 6-4 guard describe a player with no secondary skill and no defensive projection. He is competing for the Clippers' third two-way slot against two players already holding two-ways, on a deal whose most likely resolution is a waiver plus the San Diego retention bonus. Fantasy relevance in 2026-27 is effectively off the table; the dynasty case is the narrow bet that shooting this good eventually finds 10 minutes somewhere.

Open questions
- Does LA convert him to the open third two-way, or hold that slot for in-season flexibility?
- Does the Big Ten-leading three-point rate survive NBA distance and closeouts?
- Is there a defensive floor at 6-foot-4 that keeps him on an NBA floor at all?
