Dennis Smith Jr. out of North Carolina State is widely regarded as one of the top point guards in the 2017 NBA Draft. His dynamic scoring abilities and point guard skills could aid the Knicks in creating a solid foundation to build around.
Kristaps Porzingis desperately needs a point guard who can take pressure off of him, and feed him when necessary. Smith could potentially fit that role, as he’s equipped with all of the tools to become an NBA star.
The most frequent comparison that Smith gets is former Rockets and Knicks All-Star point guard Steve Francis.
