Braden Smith or Luke Brown!

Smith, although like Brown, it still is debatable whether he can defend at the high major level.

He's played for a 4A team for 2 years now, is entering his junior year, is a pass first point and is expected to grow another couple inches (his dad is 6'3). He shot 42% his freshman year from 3 and I believe 40% this year while while averaging over 18 a game.

What Smith has going for him though is he is still young though. He's only a junior so he's still growing. He's got time. He's someone to definitely keep a eye on.

IU had Roth,Leary, and several others from the bench that were sharpshooters but bad on defense.They did okay with them.

I've seen Brown play a couple of times, and to be honest I don't know how well he plays defense. Blackford played a 2-3 zone with him out front. It could ill-afford to have him on the bench in foul trouble. Blackford also beat an 18-5 Tipton team in the sectional final, and rather handily. It was never closer than 10 points in the second half.
 
If Luke Brown would take a Preferred Walk-On at IU, I wonder if he would take it, like McRoberts.
