Agreed. Best player in the draft imo with good potential. Not sure about KD comparison tho.

Perhaps a tad overzealous on the comp double checking the numbers KD was at 25 ppg in college that's well beyond 16.9 Smith. Still the fact that he's hitting near 200 triples at 42% clip in the SEC at 18 is no joke. Guy can score maybe imagine KD not as good on offense but better on D perhaps. Bottom line he's far from a finished product and how many elite athletes do you see come down the pike that can shoot from deep and rim rock off the dribble at 6'10.. not many..

The Magic will draft him, and then lose him to another team in a few years. It is tradition.

Speaking of sending stuff to the Lakers, looks like the Magic have already sent #35 overall to him for a future 2nd and "cash considerations"
