Tyreek Smith is a veteran rim-runner waiting on eligibility, not a stat-stuffer
Tyreek Smith brings real value as a 6-8, 225-pound frontcourt piece with proven college production: in the 2023-24 season at SMU, he averaged 8.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks, showing why he’s viewed as an active, physical defender around the rim. Kansas State lists him as a wing, and his career path across Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, SMU and a brief Memphis stop speaks to both adaptability and a long résumé. The catch: the NCAA denied his waiver, so his on-court impact for Kansas State has been limited by eligibility rather than ability.
