Expert Analysis
Paul Hernandez | Prep Hoops Scout
Smith is an athletic and skilled lead guard that looks to create his own offense, as well as impact the defensive end, and is evolving as a playmaker. Smith has a dynamic handles, keeps the dribble alive to survey the floor, has the court vision to make precision passes in tight windows, is a great positional rebounder, which allows him to get out and push the ball up the court, and improved decision making on passes up the court to players running the floor. I was impressed most with his poise and control of the flow of the offense at the Fall Varsity Shootout, especially on Day 2, where he slowed the game down at times and orchestrated the offense to put pressure on the defense. Smith is a high-level athlete that has great on-court speed, but he is showing that he can adapt to the flow of the game and not feel the need to push at all times. Smith is efficient with the 3-ball off the dribble or the catch, uses the crossover, behind cross, and toss cross to get his defender off balance, has a quick burst off speed off the bounce, and is a creative finisher at the rim with the use of the up and under lay-up. In the open court, Smith can go coast to coast and looks to punch it in, or pull-up for the transition jumper. He is an underrated shot-blocker/rim protector, as well as the lateral quickness and active hands to put pressure on opposing guards.
