Prep Hoops Lead Scout

A prospect who played a lot bigger than his listed height of 5-foot-11 given his wingspan and impact; did well to showcase an ability to get into the paint and finish through contact; unwavering and relentless on defense and rebounding the ball; had an impressive “nose” in getting to the ball and making his presence felt

Herman Smith Herman Smith 5'11" | PG/SG Stratford | 2027 State SC caps off my evaluations from the midweek matchup between Stratford and Cane Bay. Smith has been one of the best junior scorers in the state so far this season, but he showed a different side of his game last night. He did put up 9 points with a couple of nice takes to the rim, however, it was the 6 assists that really caught my eye. Herman rarely forced shots, consistently probing the opposing defense to find the best shot for his team. He was also impactful defensively, especially when the Knights went on their runs in the first half.

Smith and the Stratford Knights are another player-team combination that is off to an impressive start to the season. He’s putting up 24.3 Points Per Game, and the Knights are 4-1, which is more than double his numbers a season ago and halfway to their win total a season ago. Smith stood out to me at the SCBCA Elite Camp with his scoring ability, but also a defensive presence with tons of energy on that end. Keep an eye on Herman as a potential All-State player if he continues on this trajectory.
