Adam Smith, for those that don't remember, is the basketball transfer that has been practicing with the team while he sits out his required year following his transfer from UNC-Wilmington. Throughout the season the team/managers record shooting numbers for the players in practice. Smith has an 80% shooting average on "the gun" (a device that records shooting numbers and returns balls to players) throughout practice this season. I've been told that these numbers usually translate to about 20-25% higher than the in-game numbers. He has been playing on the scout team in practice, meaning he has been matched up against Robert Brown and Erick Green in practice. He's been getting his against these players, and has some ridiculous ups in the process (apparently was recorded as having a 44 inch vertical). He needs to work on his defense and ballhandling, especially when trying to drive the lane.

I look forward to seeing Smith starting at shooting guard for the Hokies next season. He could very well be the focal point of this team.
