After a conversation with the Charlotte Hornets’ staff, Terquavion Smith decided he would return for his sophomore season at N.C. State.
The Wolfpack star, who entered his name in the NBA draft pool and received positive feedback during last month’s draft combine in Chicago, worked out with the Hornets just three days before the June 1 deadline for players to withdraw their names from the draft and remain eligible to return to college basketball.
In speaking to the media on Wednesday, Smith didn’t go into detail on the conversations he had with the Hornets’ staff, but Wolfpack head coach Kevin Keatts offered some insight into Smith’s decision to return.
