Smith Preseason POY..

I like the kid. But man, I just can’t see this happening. I think it will be a stretch for him to even be an all B1G performer without Edey.
sportswriters are lazy.
Keith Smart was a pre-season AA in many mags going into the 87-88 season.
He had a decent senior year, but was in no way an AA level player that year. In fact, he wasn't even first team all B1G.
Writers chose him a pre-season AA because of the shot, and IU's success the previous season.

We shall soon see. I personally see life being a little tougher for both Smith and Loyer this season.
 
It will be interesting to see him play while being guarded this year.
I agree. I think he's athletically reached his ceiling. Without all of that drop coverage to the post getting clean looks will be a struggle. I think leading the conference in assists, shooting a high fg percentage and winning the conference or conference tournament would do it. I think Purdue will struggle if he has to be the leading scorer.
 
Question I've been pondering is if any season ending injury happened to Smith, would PU be able to finish in the top 14 of the BIG?
