BREAKING: Dennis Smith Jr. Reportedly Signing With New Team

Dennis Smith Jr. was the ninth overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft by the Dallas Mavericks.

Coming out of N.C. State, he had been seen as a player who had enormous potential.

He averaged 15.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists per contest in 69 games during his rookie season.

Unfortunately, he has not had the kind of start to his NBA career that anyone could have expected.

He spent less than two full seasons with the Mavs before being traded to the New York Knicks.

In addition to the Knicks and Mavs, he has also played for the Detroit Pistons and Portland Trail Blazers.
