Smith is a lefty who runs the lane hard in transition and can shoot the 3 off the catch or dribble. He likes to drive the ball left and shoot the pull-up if he can't get all the way to the rim. He will look to post smaller guards to take advantage of his size and is a willing and good passer out of the post when there is not a scoring option. Smith could also play the small forward postion because he is a good offensive rebounder.

I have also read where he is physically strong and reminds people of Jekel Foster which brings a big smile

to my face. Probably between him and Sibert. Whoever pulls the trigger first we get the scholarship for the #2 position IMO.
