Dear College Basketball: Good Luck Guarding Dennis Smith Jr
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- Dennis Smith Jr is an 18 year old native of Fayetteville, NC and is currently enrolled as a freshman at NC State University. The 6'2" point guard is considered to be a potential lottery pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. Smith was ranked the #1 point guard in the country going into his senior year before tearing his ACL in early August. Luckily, he was able to graduate early from Trinity Christian Academy and enroll at NC State this past January (2016). On campus, he has been able to rehab daily with NCSU doctors, attend practices, sit on the bench during games, & acclimate to the life of a college basketball player. A process that Wolfpack Nation hopes will allow Smith to find his comfort zone sooner rather than later in the 2016-2017 season.
Comparisons? His favorite player is Russell Westbrook, which explains his aggressive play. The most common comparisons are former NBA greats Steve Francis & Baron Davis, even though he is more competitive than both. Regardless of comparisons, the reality is, Dennis Smith Jr is a terror on both ends of the court. I'll leave the scouting reports to the scouts; just know that Dennis is one of the few guys who's game, and mixtapes, live up the hype.
How's the rehab coming? Word we're getting on campus is that Dennis is back in kill mode. Playing at around 85%, he's dunks are coming back and he's begun abusing the rest of NC State's back-court.
Dennis Smith Jr comes from the same soil as hip/hop icon, J Cole, and hopes that he will be the next big role model from "Dreamville."
Decent recovery from an acl tear! I'm sat here watching this just after my second acl tear! The guys sick though, wish him luck!
get well soon
Caven Nnoko cheers matey
This was b4 the ACL tear but im sure he will come back strong
LMAOOOO "decent recovery"
I'd say more than a decent recovery. Just put up a triple double with 27 points against a top 25 team. What a player
Dude is literally Raw af, and shout out to his barber lmao
He might have a better Barber next year playing with NCState
+Ethan Dursi I see what you did there..
Barber already declared for the draft
Anyone here after that comment on Mike Korzembas vid
Kefe Sole which one?
Yep
I didn't know your allowed to put murder on youtube
Nigga doing my park dunks in game
😂😂😂💯
He can be a game changer. His moves, style, athletism are unique in his generation. NC State is lucky that they have him. Good luck young man!
That baseline move at 0:55 is insane. I wish I could see the whole sequence to see how he set it up.
Fast forward to college, he did the same shit as he did in high school...... fast forward to now he’s in the nba, and he’s still doing this😂😂😂😭🔥
Kanye Twitty lol fools talking about he wouldn't even do this in college
...and fast forward to 2019 and he's still not contributing to winning. RUclips highlights don't lead to victories.
@@Mistachill its one of season idiot
Mistachill what’s going on? Why isn’t he doing good?
@@invyi8662 He's been injured genius and had off the court issues. Its 1 off season he'll still be a star
Still today, the craziest, sickest title on a ballislife video. Really goes to show how scary and intense of a player Dennis Smith Jr was and still is
Smith is a beast. He could be the best player in the last NBA Draft. A lot of scouts said he was but that his lack of height brought him down a bit. He broke the NBA pre-draft camp's record for highest no step, legit. vertical leap. Smith is super strong for his size and he's an insane competitor. He's fun to watch and will help the Mavs right away.
He’s a loser
my fav player in this year's draft. been lovin his game since 2013...when people compared him to seventh woods. well actually then, people said wood was better...i was like nah, im ridin with my nigga junior. he has big things coming for yall in the league! lego!!!
he is a beast. and his best. is yet to come. look out for dude. he is a hard worker. u can tell by the way. he works on the court. I been watching this dude. from year to year. he is getting better. he is only going to get better. REMEMBER THAT.
He can't shoot. that's going to hold him back.
His game reminds me of Damian Lillard
same
Reminds me of both Russel and Damian.
+Chris They all athletic asf
+Johnathan Salas If you want to become a better basketball player check my channel!!! I have new moves and drills!!! You will get better for sure!!!
HOWARD ELITE BASKETBAL
nigga stfu^^^^^
reminds me of ersan ilyasova
Yessss My Fav Player
Whens the next vid dropping dawg?
+Khalid Abdilahi soon
This beat is tough. The editing hits it hard too!
I been waiting for Woods and Smith to shine in college and maybe the NBA good luck guys
4th pick here we go
i swear i been waiting for this mixtape 100
I was watching a Kwe Parker video, and somebody brought up could he shoot a jumpshot. Now, usually, I would say, it's only a mixtape, they don't show jumpshots unless they're spectacular. But now, I'm with dude. You never see these players shoot jumpers. It's easy to dunk against lousy high school players. That's not going to work in college. Look at Deuce Bello and Shaq Johnson.....
👏 👏 👏
You got a point, but I've seen videos of dennis smith jr shooting and he seem like he got a pretty good shot. Only one real way to find out though
AMEN BRUTHA, NOW PREACH!!!!
👏👏👏
Them boys are nowherr to be found!!
👍👍👍👍👍
I've watched a lot of Denis games he got a jumper, I've seen him make more threes than him him have a nasty dunk ion know about his in between game but yeah he has a jumper.
Prime Steve Francis?? with a jumper?
Most accurate representation on this channel
Yup
prime D Rose
+Ramon GotKix AI?
Jayson Tatum I can see that too. But AI was a different kind of animal lol. But he wasn't THIS athletic
He reminds me of Russell westbrook
Russell is his favourite player 😂
+Joako1807 I think it's lillard
Jose Calderon for sure.
+Joako1807 nah baron Davis is
Nigga you know how many time I've watched this?
An underwhelming season at NC state.. this is still one of my favorite ballislife mixtapes since john wall!
We're definitely looking at a possible future lottery pick for the nba I think.
I haven't been this exited to see a high school. Basketball player since kyrie Irving he is definitely going to be a BEAST in collage and in the Nba
The guys face to left when he dunked on Miles Bridges lmao classic
The Professor's move at 0:55 #freshhhhhh
ive been waiting for this!!!!!!!
he has a little westbrook in his dunk
Him and seveth woods got the best mixtapes of all time
Everybody forgot about him best point guard in his class even though he didn't play this year killed the comp and top players in his class the last two years gonna be fun to watch last year
He obviously can shoot hella well as seen at the under armor camps, hes obviously a freak of nature when it comes to athletics, but of course when it comes to mixtapes theres alot we dont see. On a few plays he looks almost reckless with the ball. With maturity he has the potential to be phenomenal. Plus hes ranked and recruiters know what they're talking about. He'll bloom at NC State without a doubt.
Fuck that you can't compare him to no one he's the "One" hands down....The smoothest I done seen with the rock
Dude is straight flying on those dunks.
Dang can't believe someone from my city is gonna to the NBA. You really can make it if you do what you need to necessary and work hard.
Hell yeah
Like a less athletic Nash
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 whaaaaaaaaaaaaat???
lol
+RoosterJake Troll?
Nicholas Mitchell fight me irl
+RoosterJake I hope you meet him on a court and get your ass postered by him calling him unathletic, tf?
Probably only gonna have this monster in Raleigh for a year, so I just hope we make it count. Kid's too damn good to waste it anywhere other than the big dance
I predict he'll be the starting PG for the 76ers by 2018.
With Ben Simmons I dont know if they will have the 1st Pick
Joako1807 Dennis Smith is unlikely to go #1 in next year's draft...he'll most likely end up in the 3-8 range depending on a number of factors.
+Joako1807 bruh wht r u talkin abt 76ers still the worst team in the league
"Ball4Life" and you still don't understand the system of the NBA draft smh. Since the 76ers are the worst team i.e. not making it into the playoffs. They get to obtain the 1st Pick in the NBA Draft
seb. You're aware that the NBA has a Draft Lottery, right? Just because a team finishes last doesn't automatically result in them getting the 1st pick. It gives them a 25% chance of getting the first pick, but if things don't go their way, they could end up with the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th pick instead.
he's about to hallucinate that whole college aroma, dogg.
Imagine him having range like curry, man he'd be a monster.
where is trae jefferson? Do he still play? Do another mixtape of him.he is deadly.
reminds me of Kasey Hill who was stud in high school and fizzled out in college. Hopefully Dennis keeps the hype
''can you replay that for me?''
My favourite HS player to watch. Hoping he does it big on the next level and can recover from injury
can he shoot? Serious question... often it's hard to tell from mixtapes but his form looks solid. Hope he recovers 100% from the ACL!
Dennis Smithereens Jr AKA MR. WOLFPACKBACK AKA MR. RIP EVERYTHANG TO SMITHEREENS
the 44 dislikes are from the ones he crossed up and dunked on
2016 literally has one of the best classes💯
Keeps this up I can see him play like mvp d rose
i see rondos behind the back fake, jamaal crawford crossover, and the professors corssover all in a 3 minute clip...this kid can tae others game into his own wait till he develops his own nasty crossover
He's back!
The smitty is effective af on the baseline lmao
"Can you replay that for me" curry a fool
I'll wait until I see him in college. Malik newman and Antonio blakeney were big disappointments from what I expected
+Hajime went to horrible programs...
nah hes legit and this is coming from a guy who likes D Aaron Fox more he's a beast baby steve Francis or Allen iverson
true true newman was projected to be a lottery pick if im not mistaking but he decided to stay for another year
GeorgeTheBullsFan you're wrong bud. he was projected to be a ball boy.
Transferring to kansas too
Always follow the guys who can shoot, if they are short. Go look at their 3 -point high school percentage. If you can't shoot in high school, you can't shoot in college or the pros. This guy can't shoot. Frank Jackson can shoot.
This guy will be the next one
His Name brand shoes will be Jordan tier, maybe higher, that's how good this guy is.
Nc state gonna be lit next year
I'm watching all their games 😂
+Jemel Kanneh facts bro
+Jemel Kanneh Isn't Nc State losing all their best players this year?
+test Yep lol, they only have Smith and Maverick. Smith is coming off an ACL injury as well, so we don't know how he's going to play. Just like Giles.
+Marlon R wrong. They have smith, Rowan, Torin Dorn, Terry Henderson, and a few more. Abu didn't sign an agent and is expected to come back.
Roman Walker those aren't good players fam .... sorry to tell you. Every team has an Abu. Terry Henderson is coming back from a "serious" ankle injury. You're two best players are coming off of injuries, that's never good.
Now he is showing that the title was legit
Joui ga Joy fam
cant wait to see him play in college
Curry at the end lmao
If Steph says replay that for me. U made it.
Is it me or does does this video say it's been uploaded 1 month ago, when it's been there way longer?
I see that Steph was the only 1 to dislike this vid cause he missed that last dunk. Lol
Man i wish Cat was staying him and DSJ would be the best backcourt in the NCAA next year. But I think we will still make the Tournament if we stay healthy. #WolfpackNation #GoPack
This boy is going to be unstoppable as long as the knee injury doesn't slow him down
Go to his instagram and see him racing a bunch of other guys at a camp they were not even close to him
Idk he's mad athletic like either D-Rose or Westbrook...what do y'all think
Curry at the end🔥😂😂🏀
fav player dude goes so damn hard
Who's taller Dennis or seventh woods ?
Last high school mixtape?
Is it just me or this guy is like a 6'2 version of Kevin Durant. He's got that killer step back jump shot down pat and got that hesitation dribble just like like KD. This kid's got everything.
Yeah that's it.
he dunks like my myplayer its like he has the signature skill posterizer
His hesitations lethal asf
Im a big fan dennis keep it up
I give this guy one season and then he's off to the pros.. He's just too raw
How many teams he play for ? I done seen him in like 20 different jerseys
Thats cause he was in under armor 24 and nike eyball plus highschool plus aau so yeah
And his school has 3 different teams and some of them are exposure camps too
I mean his school has 3 different jerseys *
now it's Dear NBA
feels like his vertical is unlocked
This guy is ruthless
Curry at the end made it even more 🔥 🔥 🔥
wow. A mix of westbrook, D rose, john wall, damien lillard, kyrie, - basically every ridiculously athletic point guard in the game right now.
I hate comparing kids to ball players when they this young but I see russel in his game man smh..Like his game
College a whole different ball game then high school ball is life 80% of high schoolers without big names see smith and move college 6'9 6'11 dudes gone who jump and dribble just as good as him gone be like we right here
this dude is the REAL DEAL.... end of story!!!!
Does he have a consistent jumper? If he does I honestly don't know how you can guard this kid.
Can't really compare him. He's a HOF for sure. The truth.
He got the same look in his eyes as Dame, same gaze
Going to be elite!
as long as his explosiveness is still there after the acl surgery this dude is going to be a problem and a top 10 pick.
R.I.P to De'Aaron at 1:17 😔🙏🏾
Lol steph at the end XD
Chris Paul handle wit Bledsoe athleticism, wit Dame's jumper.
wit stfu
He does not have Chris Paul's handle. He's athletically better than Bledsoe, and a big HELL no on the Jumper. Maybe he'll get a jumper like that but HELL no. Also that Frank kid from UNC and the Ball kid from UCLA both look better with more poise than him. Much more poised. Smith Jr does have mini Westbrook potential though. Westbrook is 6'4..... 2 inches is huge in the League.
college is a whole different ball game. this a nice player
done watched him destroy guards already in league and college when he was freshman and sophomore. He's the real deal
+Jay Wood that's true also
this reminds me of the old John Wall highschool vids
DONT DO THAT TO HIM
the end hahahaha
whats funny is when you look up the dennis smith from the nfl his picture takes up his google page
UNC vs NC State goint be lit next year
Negative Duke gone kill both next year
+Jonathan clark y'all wasn't sayin that when y'all played oregon
Devion Crump lmao
Jonathan clark Everybody know that yall had to get Tatum and Giles just to beat Nc state and NC lmao duke trash
+TroubleMan Dblock 👌👌😂😂
this is cool and no doubt this kid has an good handle with the rock and can jump and shoot from distance but with all these flashy offense orientated mixtapes, id love to see a defensive one where the guy just locks down guys like this , this id love to see!
Actually, he can't shoot. That's where highlights fool you.
he's going to be a problem! great height, speed, hops, amazing scorer, and he can pass but most importantly he got that swagger that you must have to be a great player! you must have that mindset that no one can stop you, you definitely see confidence in his game.
