One of the top guards in the country, Smith led Oak Hill in scoring in the EYBL Scholastic at nearly 17 points per game. The Ohio State commit is a dynamic three-level scorer who can create his own offense off the dribble and consistently put pressure on opposing defenses. He is difficult to keep in front, uses his above-average athleticism effectively, and plays with confidence and pace. Smith’s skill set and scoring versatility should translate seamlessly to the college level.
