Smith, is a big bodied force. As a freshman it was evident that Smith had talent and could develop into one of the top players nationally . Smith has great hands and better than average athleticism for a kid his size. As this kid matures expect him to solidify himself as a 5 star player. Has a serviceable shot from inside the paint that will only get better, By all indicators Smith is a big time prospect, should be a high major all conference candidate as a freshman. Smith averaged averaged 21 points and 9.8 rebounds with a 74 percent shooting percentage. Here is a good ARTICLE on Smith.
