Patrick Beverley: "What was said in Indiana was, I've never been spoken to that way my entire life in the NBA. I'm going to just say that. Do I regret the way I handled things? Of course. Could I have had handled things better? Of course. Obviously that you cross and you don't cross when it comes to just talking to anybody, any human being. And that line for the people that were around, that line was crossed several times. Did I handle it the best way? Probably not, but would that person go around saying those things again? Probably not."

You played with Zach Edey at Purdue, and now you’re playing with Ivica Zubac in Indiana. They’re both traditional back-to-the-basket, post-up guys, which is rare in today’s league. What aspects of your game do you feel translate well from when you played with Edey to now, hopefully with Zubac? Braden Smith: Obviously, two big dudes and being able to play with those guys and learn how to play with them. I think it was important for me, especially early on in my first two years of college, to be with Zach. So I think it just sets you up because if you are trying to go play in the league and do those things, that’s who you’re going to get. Those are the type of guys you’re going to have to play with and learn to play with, so for me, I think it’s just a head start to that. Obviously, having Zubac on the team and being able to play with another guy very similar to that. I think it only benefits me even more because I already know how to play with a caliber player like that, and it really just makes it that much better.
