To be honest, while it was clear that NC State’s Terquavion Smith was a talented player, we didn’t pay that much attention to him, other than when Duke was playing.
Our sense was that he could really fill it up and was athletic and might be an NBA player.
So it was a bit surprising, even though it shouldn’t be at this point, when he announced that he would be entering this year’s NBA Draft.
What was more surprising was when he announced Tuesday that he would be pulling back out of it.
And what was really surprising was why: he said he just wanted to be a college student for one more year.
