Yet, partly because of N.C. State's miserable season (4-14 in the ACC), fusses about bad body language, a bad injury (torn ACL before his senior year in high school) and spotty pick-and-roll defense, several mock drafts have him dipping to No. 8, where the Knicks sit.
However, The Post has learned Smith will work out for the Celtics on June 7. Yes, the Celtics, who own the first pick and figure to nab Washington's Markelle Fultz. Smith already has worked out for Orlando (No. 6), according to sources, and has tentative dates with the Lakers (No. 2) and Knicks .
Not sure of the validity but this site has us trading down to 3 with Philly and taking Dennis Smith Jr. Probably just a bunch of hot air but what could be more interesting is that we have DSJ scheduled for a workout today?
Anyone hear if DSJ is in Boston? Of all the guys in the draft I am most confident that Smith will turn into a fringe All Star. Think at the very least he's a lock for at an Eric Bledsoe like career.
Well, he's already there, knee-wise
. In all seriousness, though, he's a hell of a talent, but between his short arms that will likely prevent him from being able to effectively contest shots at the next level, penchant for giving up on plays, not playing defense, and a questionable attitude, I'm going to have to pass, given what I've read about him. I would hardly be shocked if became an excellent player, however, as he certainly has the talent. I just tend to worry about what's going on upstairs, so to speak.
