He has both strength and hops. He has all the physical tools to be a special player in the painted area on both ends of the court, if he works hard and learns the skills to go with them.
Glad the Rockets signed Smith before some other team did. We need to start developing guys who are physically suited for their position versus tweeners.
What? Where do you gather that info? He is the single most dominant finisher in the DLeague, and I haven't seen anything otherwise to make me think he can't finish well above average.
What I noticed wasnt really athleticism hops or length ..... but his footwork defensively was very solid.
