Expert Analysis

Prep Hoops Scout

Another debutant inside the Top 25 is Smith. Smith is one of the more physically developed 2028s in the state, standing at 6’5″ with a strong frame and good athleticism. Noah showed flashes of three-level scoring this summer with Upward Columbia, proving to be an efficient finisher at the rim with his size and a confident jump shooter off the dribble or off the catch. Although a lot of his buckets come on spot-up opportunities, he is capable of creating for himself off the dribble with a good handle for his size. Look for Smith to have an immediate impact at his new school in 2026-27.
