One of the more experienced 2028 guards in District 1 the past two years, Smith will make the jump to the PCL this year as part of a scrappy, guard-heavy West Catholic (PA) group. He’s coming off a solid summer as a steady bench piece for Team Final ‘s undefeated 16U team and should bring the Burrs another reliable playmaker. His ability to get north/south off the bounce and also be a threat from the perimeter will be a welcome addition to the Burrs’ rotation. It’ll be an important year for Smith to begin positioning himself on scholarship-level recruiting boards heading into his 17U spring and summer.

Smith plays like a modern on the ball guard. His quick first step allows him to get into the lane and either find open teammates, get to the rim, or pull up for a mid-range jumper. Smith is a microwave scorer who had several mini scoring runs of his own throughout the three days. Now at West Catholic (PA), Smith looks poised to take on the the PCL.

Smith stuffed the stat sheet with his play and showed that he can play on or off the basketball. He added 10 points and is an effective secondary scorer for Penn Wood. Smith showed that he can space the floor by knocking down a shot from behind the arc. He also showed flashes as a facilitator by finding teammates for scoring chances of their own. He is a prospect to keep an eye on for the coming years.
