-Have loved seeing the strides that Smith-Bey has made this offseason as a hard-nosed guard that has refined his skillset nicely over the past few months. He has grown and put on weight to add to that growth spurt, but the most marked improvement is the offensive decisiveness with quick reads in the halfcourt as well as his catch and shoot ability from beyond the arc. LOVE the motor and sheer joy that he puts into making life absolutely miserable for whatever opponent he guards on a nightly basis while also showing the ability to serve as an effective helper in the halfcourt. I expect him to be at the nucleus of increased ball pressure that I think SJC will apply at the defensive end of the floor to jump out to early leads. But his consistency at the offensive end of the floor will be huge for a Cadets group that will need him to score on a nightly basis with the graduation/departure of several key pieces of the backcourt.
