No way he averages 9 assists a game... When was the last time a big ten player did that? And without edey sucking in the defense for wide open shooters or easy dump off to edey for quick bucket. No way.
I think Purdue takes a step back for sure. I'll go 16/6/4 for Braden and it's borderline first team/second team big ten.... Still very good year
Yep, nobody has averaged 8 let alone 9 assists (I only went back to 2000, so maybe someone did it before then?). Most of his assists last season were to a guy who was one of the most efficient scorers that the league has ever seen. They no longer have that, and he's going to be asked to score more anyhow.
