2017 NBA Draft: The Dennis Smith Jr. pipe dream

Are you guys ready for a Dennis Smith Jr. highlight viewing party?

Patience. You have to earn it.

The 19-year-old point guard out of North Carolina State is generally regarded as a top-10 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. He averaged 18 points (35.9 percent from deep) and six assists in 34.8 minutes per game in one season at NC State. The team wasn’t very good (15-17 record), but it’s easy to recognize Dennis as a big time talent. Hence the highlight viewing party to come.

Long story short; if Dennis somehow falls all the way down to Detroit’s number 12 spot, then Detroit grabs him without a second thought.
