The Next Big Thing: Jordan Smith PT2

Jordan Smith showed out this summer when he averaged a 24-8-13 and four steals in Villanova's summer youth tournament, he's also been puttin' in work this summer, improving his range by about three feet. Jordan Smith is taking a Derrick Rose pre-MVP transition, he's had range for awhile now but this summer he's been becoming consistent from deep, Jordan Smith would fit in a number of college's but here are the top three and why:

3. UCLA: Jordan Smiths offensive game is reminiscent of Malcolm Lee's, but better. Jordan can shoot from outside and can pass much better, while he's lacking the size his quickness helps him deteriorate defensive schemes and manoeuvre in and out of lanes like JacQuizz Rodgers on OSUs turf. Jordan's hard nosed defense would help UCLA immensely in back-court defence.

2. Washington: Jordan Smith is a Washington style point guard, he is athletic, can score, and has quickness that they seem to require in their guards. He can penetrate well and can be a great stopper defensively. There is nothing to say about Jordan and UW other than it would be a perfect match.

1. Villanova: Jordan Smith impressed Villanova faculty when he averaged an almost triple-double during Villanova Camp but more than that Jordan Smith is a Villanova boy, he grew up watching them and would do anything to play and stay there. Jordan Smith playing for Villanova would definitely help him reach his potential, not just unlock it but reach it.

All three colleges have chances with Jordan Smith, but Villanova seems to have the edge!

The Next Big Thing: Jordan Smith

Jordan Smith, a 5'11'' 165lbs combo guard from Austin, Texas can ball, he fits in at the PG, SG and SF position and plays all well. He would fit in to a Princeton offence well, and be perfect as the point on a 1-3-1 defense. If you get Jordan the ball on a fast-break you'll have magic, he can do the least with the most and takes advantage of everything he see's. If you want a complete guard Jordan Smith is the way too go and if you want anything else you don't know what you're doing! The Princeton offense the beavers use around Jared Cunningham would probably fit Jordan best as it allows him to open his game, see his teammates, drive or pull-up, when Jordan play in this type of offense it adds a third dimention to his game, one which could be considered Derrick Rose/Stephon Marbury style. If you are someone like Oregon State, Oregon or Washington Jordan Smith would excel in your system. My best fit for Jordan Smith would be Oregon State and here are the reasons why; Jordan would wreak havoc as the point in a 1-3-1 and since Jared Cunningham is already there he could pressure the corners or help in the middle in case of a speedy point, on offense in the Princeton offense him and Cunningham could share reps scoring, spreading the ball and penetrating. The only thing that would worry me about these two is there is a chance of them butting heads as alpha dogs, but Jordan Smith will help if it means getting to the next level and both are great guys.

I don't know if you'll get the right meaning of this, but training wise and playbook wise Jordan Smith will do anything to get to the next level!
