Dennis Smith Jr is good, scary good. Being from North Carolina, many people call him the next John Wall. Whether you agree with the comparison or not, there’s no disagreeing that this kid is the real deal. Last year ESPN had him ranked in the top 25 in the Class of 2016. Both ESPN and Rivals now have him ranked #4 behind Josh Jackson, Harry Giles and Jayson Tatum. There are a few close competitors but as of now, no junior in the country is considered better than him at the point guard position.
He holds offers from Charlotte, Duke, Florida, Kansas, Miami, North Carolina, NC State, Virginia Commonwealth and Wake Forest. He has interest from Texas, Louisville, Florida State and Arizona, who should all offer at one point. Add Kentucky to that list and who knows, maybe he really will be the “next” John Wall.
