Scouting report
Let’s start with his shooting touch. How many times can you argue that a 6-foot-10 forward can have the best jumper in his draft class? In recent memory, Kevin Durant is the only example I can think of (and no, it’s not a comparison between Smith and one of the game’s greatest scorers of all time). Of the great times Smith saw, Durant is in another echelon.
Still, Smith’s fluid shooting speed, high release and gentle touch have him on par with any of his sharpshooting companions.
Give him an inch of space on the circumference and he’ll rise up and pay off defenders of any size right away.
Wingspan
The 18-year-old freshman adores scouts with his NBA-ready body, silky smooth shooting stroke, and two-way ability as a versatile defender. Listed at 6-foot-10, 220 lbs. With a wingspan of over 7-feet, Smith has all the physical tools to take success to the next level.
