Braden Smith 2026 NBA Draft Combine Issued Jersey | Probable Wear

This NBA Draft Combine jersey was issued to Braden Smith on May 12, 2026 in Chicago, at Wintrust Arena and the Marriott Marquis Hotel. However, due to provenance, we believe it is likely worn.

With compact but functional tools for a point guard, a 5'10.25" frame, 166.6 lbs build, and a 6'3.25" wingspan, Braden Smith brings historically elite playmaking, winning experience, and unmatched vision to the position. He posted a 38.5" max vertical and a 31.0" standing vertical at the 2026 NBA Draft Combine, proving meaningful explosiveness despite his small frame, and his shooting drill performance ranked near the top of the class. 

Smith is coming out of Purdue, where he spent all four seasons and became the most decorated point guard in college basketball history. He finished his career having started all 149 games for the Boilermakers, breaking Bobby Hurley's all-time Division I assists record (1,103 career assists), leading the NCAA in total minutes played (5,067), and becoming the only player in Division I history with at least 1,500 career points, 1,000 career assists, and 500 career rebounds.

As a senior, he averaged 14.3 points, 8.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game on 44.0%/82.5% shooting, earning his second consecutive consensus First-Team All-American selection, winning Big Ten Tournament MVP, and setting single-game, single-tournament, and career assists records in the conference tournament. He set the all-time assists record on March 20, 2026, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament against Queens, before helping Purdue advance to the West Regional. 

Combining generational passing instincts, a historically dominant collegiate resume, and elite winning credentials, Smith projects as a steady backup point guard with exceptional feel and leadership potential at the next level.
