Dennis Smith Jr. Signs with Under Armor

Former NC State point guard Dennis Smith Jr. has landed a lucrative endorsement deal with Under Armour. It is a 3-year deal that could pay the #9 draft pick up to $2 million per year with incentives. While a lot of the big names in the 2017 NBA draft signed shoe deals back in June, Smith Jr waited until after the summer league to do so, and he saw his stock rise significantly. Prior to the summer league, Smith Jr. was receiving offers under $1 million per year, but after his performance in the summer league, the offer more than doubled with Under Armour.
