Explosive scoring guard with real shot-making juice
Smith is a high-upside, microwave scorer whose calling card is creation off the dribble and deep-range shot-making; at NC State he was one of the ACC’s most aggressive volume scorers, and in his 2023-24 NBA minutes he showed he can still stretch the floor, hitting 37.1% from three while averaging 3.3 points in limited run[10][2]. He’s appealing if you want pace, confidence, and a guard who embraces tough shots, but his fit is best with structure because his efficiency can swing and he’s more scorer than do-everything floor general[10][2].
