Well Duh.

He might not be MVP in the end as an unselfish player, as sometimes a me first scorer or someone levels up to a great year emerges on one of the top 3 teams, but I would take Smith as my first choice to run my team out of any player in the nation. Good luck to him on what for sure will be an outstanding season.

It's a great honor, but I don't want to put too much pressure on Braden.

Things will be different this year without Zach throwing his weight around inside. It might take Purdue a few weeks to find its footing. This is a talented team; I think it will complete well. I just won't be surprised if it gets off to an uneven start.

He can still be POTY in the B1G with a rough start to the year.

He’s also always had pressure on him and he can handle it. Going to be a fun year.
