North Carolina St. North Carolina State Wolfpack

NC State's Dennis Smith Jr. struggles in possibly his last college game

North Carolina State Wolfpack freshman guard Dennis Smith Jr. scored seven points on 3-for-12 shooting in Tuesday's loss to the Clemson Tigers in the ACC Tournament opening round.

What It Means:

Projected as a top-five pick in the upcoming NBA Draft and with the Wolfpack finishing the year 15-17, Smith is likely done playing college basketball. If it was his final NCAA game, his performance was less than memorable. The seven points were a season-low and were only the third time the freshman failed to reach double-digit points all year.

Despite the poor effort, Smith finished his college career with 18.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 1.7 three-pointers per game.
