Dennis Smith Jr. learns his draft fate Thursday night.
The NBA Draft is set for Thursday night on ESPN, and thank goodness it’s finally here, because the takes by random bros on Twitter who fancy themselves scouting experts all the sudden have hit ludicrous speed.
The randoms are somewhat torn on Dennis Smith Jr., and near as I can tell the argument against him, such as it is, is basically that he didn’t win 30 games by himself at NC State. Tough crowd, these random internet guys, lemme tell ya.
Smith is an unlikely top five selection based on the latest mock drafts from people who in fact do know what they’re talking about, but I wouldn’t completely rule out that happening, either.
