You don't get the Braden Smith NPOY hype? He was the Big Ten Player of the Year and a consensus 1st Team All American and he returned to school. That's the kind of guy that always gets picked for pre-season POTY. Plus, the all-time NCAA assists record is within his reach if he averages the same number of assists as last year and plays a few games into the NCAA tournament. If he sets the record and Purdue is a top 1 or 2 seed, he'll win the award.

No reason given why Kaufman Renn would get a year older and regress. Loyer is one of the best shooters in the country. Mayer will add an element of dynamism to their offense. Jacobsen is back from injury and will add the rim protection they lacked last season. Cluff is an awesome rebounder (which translates well up levels), they don't need him to be a star.

Painter has finished in the KenPom top 25 for 10 straight years. The top 10 five times in that stretch. He's the exact opposite of a one hit wonder.
