Got to talk with Braden Smith yesterday about what made him choose Purdue, what he wants from this system, and tried to get into if he's hearing any of the noise about point guards in Painter's system.
Braden Smith - The Next Purdue Point Guard
Another Boilermaker with an eye for the big prize:
"Smith doesn't give the impression that he's made anything, certainly hasn't checked anything off the list of to do's. Which I ask him about at the end of the interview, 'What kind of goals have you set for yourself this season?' and his list is both simple and somewhat impossible seeming, the way every truly worthy goal is.
"Just do what I can to make the team better. Obviously we all want to win and want to win a Big Ten Championship and then go to the National Championship. That's our goal."
