Purdue head coach Matt Painter on Braden Smith being drafted by the Pacers at 38:
"We are thrilled for Braden to be selected by the Pacers in the NBA Draft. It’s a great spot for him and the Pacers are an outstanding organization that know him very well.
"From day one, Braden has showed the resolve, determination and attitude to get to the next level and this is the first step toward achieving that dream. He has a lot of work ahead of him obviously, but he has the drive to compete in the best basketball league in the world."
