Smith definitely needs to bulk up a bit and improve on defense (the latter seems unlikely while he's on the Ignite). I'll be a little surprised if he goes in the top 25, but he certainly has upside as a 30+ pick that could be realized with further development. Thanks for yet another great breakdown!
For some reason nobody is high on him. I personally think he should go top 10.
I did not know him and I found him to be an interesting player.
Good coordination and movements for his height, quick shooting from 2 and 3. He can be a 4 with possibilities in the NBA.
Of course, he needs to improve his defense. Actually the Ignite need to hire a defensive coach because the whole team is a defensive disaster.
Toronto Raptors prospect
What do you think about G League Ignite in general @FloorandCeiling ?
Reminds a litle bit of jabari smith and jontay porter
Once and again it is defense that will make the money for such talent as he his. His needs to be much more aggressive! If done, he will be a starter in 3 years. If not he will be a 8th, 9th player his whole carrier.
I like that he uses his off hand effectively. He shoots with the right without hesitation. The lefty stroke is very smooth, very similar to Chris Bosh if there’s a comparison to make.
Looks like Patrick Baldwin
When you look at film of Smith
You will notice
At times he looks one demential
Offensive he is a pop and shoot player. Not many drives and kicks and not creative offense for teammates
What position is he – on offense and whom can he cover on defense ? Intriguing mismatch because of his heigh. But primarily he plays outside of the paint by the 3 point line
He does not play up to his 6-10 height
He fails to fight for rebound
He will get the ones that fall into his hands
On defense he will not challenge opponents in the paint
He can’t switch and cover smaller quicker player outside – they will beat him and he is slow to recover
Not an NBA starter. Good rotational player off the bench
Seems to fit in with the Miami Heat offensive mismatch system
Draft pick 16 or higher
Let’s knicks
Excellent Vid
Would be and ideal pick for Knicks!!! Reminds Mikal Bridges a lot.
Wherever he ends up, it's well deserved. Hard consistent work ethics #prouduncle 💪🏾
I see kind of a Lauri Markenen to his game
He is a hard prospect to read because of his definitive role for the Ignite. He was never asked to do more then spot up on threes, but I think his athletic profile offers hope that he can become more then that at the next level.
The Heat would be wise to draft this kid. He fits perfectly alongside with Bam, Jovic, Jaquez, and Tyler
Do u think he could be a sf in the league?
Lets say he went to the cavs, he could be the sf for the cavs like markkanen was.
