Summary
Braden Smith, Purdue’s record-setting assist machine, is skyrocketing in NBA draft projections—now a potential second-round pick, with ESPN’s latest mock draft slotting him at 35th overall for the Spurs. While some had him in the 40s, the rising consensus highlights his elite playmaking as a perfect fit for San Antonio’s young core around Victor Wembanyama. Smith’s knack for feeding dominant big men—like Zach Edey—could translate seamlessly into a role as a dynamic bench playmaker, unlocking Wembanyama’s potential and making him one of the most valuable pass-first prospects in this year’s draft.
