Get to know this guy. He could be our next pg

Just to be fair to the other poster, they might have been thinking of "stud" in an all together different way...
You didn't mention chandler; I believe he'll play a role in next year's backcourt rotation. Barring a transfer
This guy looks like he's been spending most his life living in an Amish Paradise.
The best PG in cbk doesn’t fit you definition of stud?
I realize that we should not limit ourselves to a small guard. I also think that we should have diversity on the team of skills. It would be nice to have a 6'3 or four guard to do things when Smith is a fish out of water. I've seen Smith enough to know he's very good.
If we don't win every game by double digits it's a failure. I had those same thoughts when I was 12 🤣
Reading so many people talking shit about Braden Smith in this thread and another one is flat embarrassing. Wth is wrong with some of you people? It’s obvious you have no damn clue what you’re talking about. He’s the Big Ten player of the year and been a first team conference player two years in a row….and some of y’all acting like he can’t play. SMH

Hope Pope cleans up in the portal, but there are numerous teams that run systems like his. Why does everyone think his style is so different?
Yeah, getting a major conferences player of the year would be absolutely terrible.
I don't know about a stud, but he is a great prototypical PG. He averaged almost nine assists per game this season. In his first couple of seasons his defense was suspect, but he is averaging two steal a game this year so he has shored that up some. He can also rebound, shoots 38% from three and averages sixteen ppg.
HIs defense and height are his weak points. Purdue lost because their guards couldn't keep the opponent out of the paint and off the rim.

This guy is very good and team oriented. Would be a good get, but can't see him leaving Purdue.
I agree. Honestly thinking here you may only need Braden Smith and you are done with backcourt.
pg - Smith, Lewis, Perry
sg - Johnson, Chandler
sf - Oweh, Noah
pf - Portal, Portal
c - Portal, Moreno
Didn’t know if Garrison is transferring so I didn’t include him. Not confident he can start for us. Don’t know if the really bad performance last game is weighing heavy so I could be way off.
There’s TONS of smoke about this guy! Reel him in, Pope!
He’s this year’s Big 10 MVP. That ain’t good enough for you?
This dude is about as solid a college PG as there’s been. Any team would be better with him.
I imagine we caught a lot of guys attention that plan to transfer when we beat Duke and Zaga in thrillers. Pope will do an amazing job here. Already has with several big wins !

“ Hell no I don’t want a guard that’s the big ten player of the year. He’s 6ft tall, he’s no stud…trust me we don’t need guys like him. “
Imo, uk needs to add a top point guard, shooting guard, both forwards and center. Depending g on Perry, Noah and Chandler, will not win the SEC, and certainly challenge for ncaa title
He's a good player but I would be surprised if he left Purdue. He grew up in Indiana and seems to be doing really well. Wonder how much UK would have to pay for him?
There’s still some Cal fan boys on here who want extremely athletic types who can’t shoot a lick
I believe you’re right.

I think it’s him man, it’s comes from 2 different sites now
I’m begging please! I love the kids game. Perfect Pg for our system
He’s one of the best PG ‘s in college, trust me he would be a monster get.
It’s ok if you want to win one game in sec tournament and maybe 2 in ncaa. You must have some dudes. There is no different kind of player
Smith is the perfect guard we could ever imagine, dude went to a NC game and is definitely a top 5 college guard easy. I couldn’t imagine many better transfers to get for us honestly.
I think it's not nothing that we're 3rd in scoring and 15th in offensive efficiency with a rapidly assembled roster and all the injury-induced discontinuity. I'm excited to see a Pope team that's assembled more traditionally with a real star or two.
You're 1000 percent negative 100% of the time, so your take has to be thrown out
That would be a remarkable backcourt and one we need to be a top team.
HOB said and KSR said it. So there has to atleast be somebody maybe an agent putting it out there
In theory, he would retire his jesery and become a super hero in Purdue... No obvious reason he would leave...
