Trey Kaufman-Renn is boldly defending Braden Smith’s NBA potential, calling him a complete player with no weaknesses—especially after their pre-draft workout with the Pacers. Smith, a Big Ten Player of the Year and NCAA assist record holder, has done everything at the college level except win a national title. Kaufman-Renn, who played beside him at Purdue, praised Smith’s scoring, defense, rebounding, and passing, insisting he’s ready for the NBA. Their shared history, including a legendary assist-and-score moment, adds weight to their case as the draft nears. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
