Dennis Smith Jr. continues to chalk up the firsts for N.C. State.
The star point guard was the first freshman to record a triple-double in an ACC game and then in Wednesday’s loss to Syracuse he became the first player in ACC history with two triple-doubles in conference play.
Smith is first in the ACC in assists (6.9 per game), first in steals (2.2) and he is first on the Wolfpack in scoring (18.7).
All of this and Smith still isn’t quite all the way back from a serious knee injury that cost him his senior year of high school basketball in Fayetteville.
