He has set the all time assist record for NCAA D1 basketball, That is pretty significantThe excessive love for Braden Smith is hilarious. He rarely shows up on the biggest stages and now has elite talent around him. Boo was doing much more with much less. Crazy how he didn’t get this type of love.
Well, we also beat him a bunchI think Smith became weirdly actually UNDERRATED around these parts, mostly for NU fans getting annoyed at all the Plaudits Smith kept getting over Boo even when that was ridiculous. Smith is a very good player and some of the comments here that rose to him not being very good were just over the top.
that said, anybody who thinks Smith has even been as good as junior and senior boo is his a ******* idiot. Like Boo is miles and miles better, it’s night and day.
Smith was built for that O, We needed something different Both guys were at the right placeSmith is pretty good, as a senior, for a little guy guard. He certainly earned the assists record and I think we can all agree that the record is as much about the talent around him as his own. He spent his career throwing the ball in to 7'+ centers who shot 60+% from up close and shooting guards who shot 40+% from the field. Without them, he's a point guard averaging 14 points and 3 turnovers a game. Which is, as I said, pretty good.
I'd rather have Boo, but it's also safe to say they were very different players.
I'll be curious to see how Smith does in the draft. He's pretty small for the NBA, but a decent shooter who can pass seems usefuL
Is that where Boo went? The Capitanes announced a sudden parting of the ways, but I haven't seen anything about his next destination.At six foot, I’d be really shocked if smith gets drafted. He may bounce around the G League but I think he’s most likely teaming up with Boo in China pretty soon

Smith is the definition of mid. He is not elite at anything. This Texas game is proving my point.Smith was built for that O, We needed something different Both guys were at the right place
I see we’re back to this dumb take. Few pretty big plays at the end there he made to win, too.Smith is the definition of mid. He is not elite at anything. This Texas game is proving my point.
Smith is arguably better than any player NU has had in the past 15 years other than Boo. Hes very good.Smith is the definition of mid. He is not elite at anything. This Texas game is proving my point.
