HOW HE OPERATES
At some point in the lead-up to the June 22 NBA Draft this question will be asked: After Lonzo Ball, who is the best point guard? The answer may very well be North Carolina State guard Dennis Smith Jr. He is a Damian Lillard-esque guard – minus some of Lillard’s explosion and athleticism – who will impress in any individual workouts he holds. Don’t be surprised to see him rise up draft projections as that day nears.
