Greg Smith

[CFAN38]

I just read about him on "draft express".

Late first might be a bit of a reach for him but he looks like at interesting prospect. Similare size to Perkins 6-8.5 with out shoes with long arms 7-3 wingspan qnd an impressive 251lbs at 7% BF. As a soph averaged 11pts 8rb 1stl 1block. Looking at his stats he definetly was inconsistent had some 3pt 3rb games but also had 20-20 games. Scouts say he lacks a post game this could account for his up and down production with most of his points coming off of dunks and put backs.

The Cs could develop Greg into a physical post defender for the future. He would give them both length and strength inside. If we fill or roster with aging bigs like we did last year then Greg can develop for a year before seeing any real time.

It doesn't look like he is big enough to be a full time five. He would be pretty undersized there. Need to be a very talented player to be successful with that disadvantage. Looks more like a power forward. Physique wise.

Could he be a good defender/rebounder at the four? Is he quick enough and mobile enough to defend the four at an above average level in the NBA?

He'd be an interesting second round project if he could.

he isnt ideal center size 6-10 with out shoes 7'3+ wing span and over 250 lbs, but not many guys are. He is bigger and longer (wingspan and standing reach) then both Noah ,Horford and a hand full of other starting nba centers. When picking outside of the top 15 picks the best values ussualy come from guys slightly outside of there positions sizes.

Draft express has him being 6'10 WITH shoes, 6'8.5 without.  He left school way too early, but I'd be willing to give him a shot in the second round.

When one of the knocks on a player (particularly one undersized for his position) is that he does not have a good "motor", I think that is as big of a red flag as you can find, particularly later in the draft when the talent isn't so great.  No thanks.

I would love to get him in the 2nd round although we world probably have to move up.
