It's been well-documented that a right knee injury held former Razorback Nick Smith Jr. from reaching his potential during his only year in an Arkansas uniform.
The former No. 2 overall prospect in the class of 2022, Smith put the basketball world on notice with a 33-point performance for the Charlotte Hornets in the NBA 2K24 Summer League on Tuesday evening.
Charlotte selected Smith with the No. 27 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft and he was paired up with his former foe and the No. 2 overall pick out of Alabama, Brandon Miller. The duo combined to score 59 points in the 97-93 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.
