Anthony Smith III brings efficient scoring and live-dribble creation to North Dakota
Freshman guard Anthony Smith III has been a steady North Dakota rotation piece in 2025-26, averaging 7.8 points, 2.3 assists and 2.1 rebounds while shooting 47.1% from the field. His appeal is more than box-score production: he’s described as an athletic, exciting playmaker who can create offense, pressure the ball defensively and make the game feel faster. The main swing skill is perimeter shooting, since reported three-point efficiency has been a struggle, so he fits best with teams needing a competitive, downhill guard rather than a pure floor-spacer.[1][2][4]
