The Arkansas Basketball team has seen great news regarding a pair of players on Thursday.
Obviously, it hurts to lose a player that’s as good as what Nick Smith, Jr. is but he is projected to become the second lottery pick for Arkansas since Musselman became head coach. This season, Smith scored 12.5 points, two rebounds and two assists in 17 games.
Of course, he had his moments and many fans think “he needs another year or two because he isn’t ready.” The NBA drafts players based off potential. Young players with higher ceilings with abilities that have yet to be tapped into at the high school, college or G-League levels.
