Thunder NBA Draft prospect series: Dennis Smith Jr.

Dennis Smith may well be the second best all around point guard in this year’s loaded draft. He has similarities to the consensus top two (Fultz and Ball) and specific differences.

Like Markelle Fultz his NC State didn’t make the NCAA tournament nor were they talent laden. Although he showed off his diverse assets, unlike Fultz he didn’t dominate, Then again, he played in the much more difficult ACC conference. While Ball improved his UCLA squad, Smith may well be the diamond it the point guard crop given his overall talents.

His game is perhaps best suited to the NBA in terms of what teams look for from the point position.
