Last night 3 former NC State players were in action in the NBA. Here is a rundown.
The Dallas Mavericks (10-25) pulled off a major upset last night, beating the Raptors (23-9) 98-93. Former NC State Point guard Dennis Smith Jr. had 8 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists. DSJ continued to struggle from the field, only connecting on 3 of his 14 shot attempts. Thus far, Smith Jr is averaging 14 points (39 FG%), 4 rebounds and 4 assists in his rookie season, starting 27 of the 27 games he has played in.
Despite the poor shooting performance, Mavs head coach Rick Carlisle was pumped.
