I mainly go by his high school film and him being a 5 star ranked recruit. He is a blue chip type and he just has a poise about his game playing at his pace and able to be a modern scoring PG at 6'5. Masai probably would like his size, 6'8ish wingspan and the touch and bounce he has to his game.
His college season has kind of sucked because he has only played 9 games and is coming off a knee injury. Plus, he plays for Arkansas which has Black and Council who eat up a lot of the scoring and playmaking. Musselman has always run a crazy five small type line-up so it is a bit of a weird program.
Smith has had a few great moments, but you are banking on what this guy will be, not where he is now. Kind of like how Shaedon Sharp got drafted high simply because he looked the part of an NBA guard and flashed enough skill and athleticism to convince GMs.

Looking at his college stats he shouldn't declare as he may go undrafted unless he puts up some seriously great games the rest of the year.

Nobody is going to risk taking him over known commodities unless he absolutely blows them away in private workouts which he won't because he's not a prolific shooter or jump out the gym kind of athlete. For this reason I think all these mock drafts having him go between #5 overall to #10 are wild. He could very well just end up a 6th man kind of player when all is said and done. Dude shoots lots of bricks and doesn't impact the game in other areas well enough for me to be able to view him as a guy capable of being an efficient NBA starter. His ability to rack up rebounds and assists in high school is irrelevant to me.

Dude has legit superstar potential. He is a freak athlete who is fearless attacking the basket and can fill up the stat sheet all over the place so easily. I don't care where he's playing right now if you project what he brings to the NCAA he would still be killing it.

He's a no draft for me for Toronto. The talent isn't worth the headache.
