Braden Smith Eyes Pacers Workout

Braden Smith, Purdue’s all-time assist leader and Indiana native, is set to workout with the Pacers this Friday — a hometown dream for the NCAA standout aiming to crack the NBA. With no draft pick this year, the Pacers could still move for a player they love, and Smith’s talent and local roots make him a prime candidate. This marks a rare return to the Pacers’ roster since Brad Miller in 2002 — and it’s just the latest sign of Purdue’s rising star power, as Smith joins teammates getting pre-draft attention. While he’s the only Boilermaker projected to be drafted, his workout signals a bright future for the program. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
