Pacers Acquire No. 38, Draft Purdue Guard Braden Smith
About this episode
Scott Agness discusses the Indiana Pacers' acquisition of the No. 38 pick and the selection of Braden Smith in the NBA Draft.
The Pacers once again found a way into the second round of the NBA Draft — and this move should not have come as a surprise. It matches what the front office has done in recent years: staying active, identifying value and being willing to move into the draft when there’s a player they like. This time, Indiana acquired the No. 38 pick from the Chicago Bulls and used it to select 5-foot-10 guard Braden Smith, the Purdue grad and local product from Westfield High School. On this episode, I discuss why the Pacers made the move, how it fits their recent draft approach, what Smith brings to the organization and why his Indiana ties make the selection especially notable. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram , and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com .
