Braden Smith Performance
Smith is the 2024-25 Big Ten Player of the Year.
From RotoWire:
"Before the NCAA's 2024-25 season were questions about how Purdue would respond to life without Zach Edey, the reigning back-to-back Naismith College Player of the Year. Even with the Big Ten Conference's addition of four colleges, the Boilermakers remain an impressive team expected to secure a coveted spot in March Madness. It is led by Smith, who was expected to and has taken Purdue's reins without Edey available. Smith's most notable contribution is assists per game, his 8.8 leading the conference. He also averaged 17.4 points, 2.4 steals and 2.3 three-pointers made."
"Obviously, it's an amazing accomplishment, amazing award, but at the end of the day, we all want to win," Smith said after receiving the honor. "We still have March Madness and the Big Ten Tournament left. That's where our focus is right now. That's where mine is."
