You didn't expect him to be the guy because he isn't the guy.... Kinda a poor man's Bayless or Jack, if you ask me.
SI doesn't seem to be too high on him: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/seth_davis/06/22/draft.prospects/1.html
As much as Nate McMillen talks about "scrap and hustle" you'd think they'd take a scrapper when he fell to them.
I do. In a variety of ways Nolan Smith was markedly older than almost everyone he played against this past season. His stats STILL weren't that great, either. I mean... he shot 35% from the college three point line. Ugh. Ed O.
Let's all hope we are talking about him being the steal of the 2011 draft in a few years. Ya never know!
