Smith made an instant impact as a freshman at NC State, starting 25 of the 32 games he appeared in and averaging 16.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.0 three-pointers made, 2.1 assists and 1.3 steals per contest, while shooting 39.8 percent from the field and 36.9 percent from beyond the arc.

The Wolfpack went just 11-21 that season, but they bounced back to go 23-11 during his sophomore campaign, reaching the NCAA tournament.

Smith increased his output to 17.9 points, 4.1 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 2.7 three-pointers made and 1.4 steals in 34 games.

Efficiency was once again an issue, though, as NC State's leading scorer shot a mere 38.0 percent from the floor and 33.6 percent from deep.

Smith can be an offensive dynamo capable of scoring in bunches when he is in rhythm, but developing consistency will be of the utmost importance for him to become a successful NBA player.
