Expert Analysis
Paul Hernandez | Prep Hoops Scout
Smith had a good weekend of play at the Invitational, but was on another level in a close win over Wildcats Select 16s, where he splashed at least 6 threes in Game Elite’s 2 point win. The 6-foot-6 wing/guard has a solid build and athleticism to be a high-level positional rebounder, has the handle to create space from his defender to get open looks on the jumper, and gets downhill when the defense over-pursues on closeouts, with the ability to finish at the basket through contact. Smith is a solid on-ball defender, with the size and agility to defend perimeter players, as well as switching off on bigs. What truly stood out about Smith’s game was his fluid shooting mechanics on the 3-ball, where he can light it up in volume from beyond the arc and has the awareness to find the open spots on the court for catch and shoot opportunities. He is a true floor spacer and keeps his team in the game with his ability to catch and fire.
