Sylvan Hills freshman Nick Smith making early statement

FAYETTEVILLE — He may look just like the high school freshman that he is, but Sylvan Hills guard Nick Smith has also already proven to be a baby-faced assassin on the basketball court.

Smith (6-3, 170), a 2022 prospeect who led the Bears in scoring this past season at 20 points per game, was in Fayetteville and Springdale this weekend showing off his talent in The Warmup AAU tournament.

He was part of a Brad Beal Elite 16-and-under squad that went unbeaten through its first five games of the event before falling to Team Griffin 63-54 Sunday in the semifinals of bracket play.
