After placing his name on the NBA draft early entrant list last month, Indiana forward Justin Smith is entering the transfer portal.
Smith is the second IU player to transfer this offseason, joining sophomore Damezi Anderson, who transferred to Loyola Chicago.
As a junior, the 6-foot-7 forward started all 32 of Indiana’s games and averaged 10.4 points and 5.2 rebounds in 30.3 minutes per game. He shot 49.2 percent from the field, 67.3 percent from the free throw line and 26.3 percent from behind the 3-point line.
His departure will open a spot in IU’s starting lineup, which could potentially be filled by Jerome Hunter or Race Thompson.
