NC State point guard Dennis Smith Jr. will attend the NBA Draft in person—if he wants to, anyway. Smith is one of the lucky few to earn an invite to the draft’s green room, as Draft Express reported this weekend. Around 20 players are expected to be invited to the green room.
NC State has had first-round picks in recent history (Julius Hodge, Cedric Simmons, J.J. Hickson, T.J. Warren) but none have been as highly-regarded as DSJ, who should end up being the highest-drafted prospect of that bunch.
So he should not have to wait long to hear his name called—Draft Express has him going at No.
