NBA ROLE: (RAW) HEAT-CHECK, SCORING GUARD

 

A possible big-time scorer selected w/ the 27th pick (in ‘23), Nick Smith Jr. is a prospect of note in Charlotte; extremely crafty scoring guard w/ natural gifts: adjusts on the fly, Smith Jr. incorporates a flowy sort of style that allows him to decide what he wants (to do) in that exact moment; loves to create off combo crossovers, can finish off plays by popping into a J or driving to the rack; getting much better at finding his teammates, still has a way to go as a play initiator; scoring will get him attention but better defense will keep around; deep backcourt in Charlotte, Smith Jr. must specialize in “short-minute scoring” (bursts) to earn favor in 2025
