## Resource

Former Purdue guard Braden Smith, a two-time All-American and Big Ten Player of the Year, is making a splash at the NBA Scouting Combine in Chicago. Standing at 63 with a 69.5 standing reach, Smith is looking to boost his draft stock after a standout college career. He averaged 14.3 points and 8.8 assists per game, leading Purdue in scoring and ranking as the second-best passer in college hoops. Smith, the NCAAs all-time assist leader with 1,103 dimes, is expected to be a second-round pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. This weeks strength tests, agility drills, shooting, and scrimmages could secure his spot in the draft, potentially even sliding him higher like ESPNs mock at number 40 to the Celtics.
