Dennis Smith Jr.

Summary:

A lightning-quick bulldog on offense, Dennis Smith Jr. has top-tier quickness and explosiveness which makes up for his less than ideal size. He’s got plenty of NBA range, twitch-quick reactions, and a desire to excel in transition, but a messy situation with North Carolina State left him with a lot of questions about his shot selection and defensive effort.
