-Continue to come away impressed with Smith-Bey’s all around impact as a 2-way guard that also has a rapidly-developing offensive skillset. I like the changes that he’s made to his shooting mechanics as he’s removed a sort of hitch/pause in the middle of his load-up and is shooting with much more consistent follow-through on the perimeter. He provides value as a floor-spacer that can knock down open looks from the wings or corners but also has displayed some explosive athleticism above the rim as a physical slasher that doesn’t settle for jumpers. Scored off a spin layup, knocked down 1-dribble jumpers at the elbows, and wasn’t afraid to mix it up with bigs in the paints for rebounds and offensive putbacks.
