Braden was the #1 priority in high school as were many players in college. However, it wasn't his scoring that brought him to Purdue. It was his ability to control a game, his vision to see things things in advance and pass the ball exceptionally. That is what brought him to Purdue. Those metrics are sometimes obscure to some. That said, he can score and will score, but his greatest love is to win and do whatever he needs to do to make that happen. Sometimes he scores and sometimes he defers to a teammate. He would tell you that he loves assists. He was set on taking Purdue to the final four when he committed, but we didn't know it would happen due to things that just happen, but it did in his second year. If a person measures Braden on typical metrics, his very strong intangibles that affect the game may not be noticed.
Make no mistake...this is Braden's team and his scoring is only part of what he brings
