Nolan Smith Draft Profile
Strengths
Nolan Smith’s get-off is lightning fast, and he flies to the ball regardless if he is on the playside or not. Due to his side, he naturally plays with leverage, attacking with his hands. His bend is elite, and he can cut on a dime.
Weaknesses
The obvious weakness is that Nolan Smith is small. He is slim through his hips, and he doesn’t have the strength to collapse the pocket. The big question for teams is if Smith can hold up at his size.
