Braden Smith Drafted by Pacers

Braden Smith, Purdue’s standout, gets drafted 38th by the Indiana Pacers — a perfect homecoming for the familiar-state talent, with potential to thrive if health holds. Now, the spotlight turns to whether other Boilermakers hear their names called before tonight’s draft ends. Earlier, fans predicted just 11% would be picked — already wrong — while only 2% dared hope for four selections. Oscar and Edey remain on the board, likely waiting until late, but their dreams of NBA stardom are still alive. Keep watching — the rest of Purdue’s draft journey could be just as thrilling.
