Summary
Braden Smith, Purdue’s breakout point guard, is officially an NBA player—selected 38th by the Chicago Bulls before being swiftly traded to the Indiana Pacers, right at home. As Purdue’s first point guard drafted since 1988, Smith’s rise from unranked recruit to NCAA all-time assists leader and national champion is nothing short of legendary. With multiple All-Big Ten honors, the Cousy Award, and elite stats across points, assists, and rebounds, his work ethic and grit have earned him a coveted spot in the league. Now with the Pacers, Smith’s journey to NBA stardom is just beginning. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
