It was a narrow contest between the pedigreed Collin Sexton out of Alabama and Texas Tech’s Zhaire Smith for the number 12 spot on our community draft board, but a late night surge pushed Smith to the top. Smith is one of the most intriguing prospects in this year’s draft, if only due to his rapid ascent over the past year. After starting as an unheralded recruit - not even ranked in ESPN‘s top 100 - he now finds himself working out for teams with potential lottery picks.
Upon first blush, one can see why teams are enchanted by Smith’s measurables.
