Big kid, big improvements each year. Excellent student to boot. He's coming into his own. Great hands, seals and finishes and his lift has steadily improved. Basically, he's a landlord and takes care of the real estate in his area.


Biography:
Big-bodied post with soft hands and pretty good feet. Fairly good skills for an incoming freshman. Scout.com analyst Greg Hicks wrote about Smith in July of 2007: "He’s a big-bodied kid and he’s still carrying some considerable baby fat. However, he moves well in spite of that extra weight. He’s also got great hands. He catches anything that comes near him. His feel around the basket is advanced and he’s got a nice touch in the 10-12 foot range. He gets up a little better than you might expect and that only figures to improve as he tones up and his body matures. With continued development, he’s a potential elite prospect."
