Pass Masters: the seven best playmakers in college basketball right now

College basketball thrives on pace, rhythm, and ball movement, and this year’s top playmakers are driving their offenses to new heights. From seasoned veterans to rising stars, these seven players are shaping the national landscape with elite passing and command of the floor.

1. Braden Smith, Purdue Boilermakers

Braden Smith trails only Fears in assists per game but sits atop this list based on consistency, impact, and production. The 6-foot guard from Westfield, Indiana, averages 13.3 points and 9.1 assists through ten games. Smith recorded 15 points and 12 assists in Purdue’s blowout win over Minnesota and followed it with another strong outing against Iowa State. With the Boilermakers pushing for a national title, Smith is firmly in the conversation for National Player of the Year.

Those are our top 7 assists guys in all of college basketball. While this list could be fluid, we are very confident in the ability of these guys and their talents to take charge on the floor.
