College career

edit

In December 2015, Smith decided to reclassify and graduate early from Trinity Christian School and in January 2016 he enrolled at North Carolina State University.[24][25] He decided to take the opportunity to get an early start on his first year by attending classes and rehabbing from his injury with the NC State medical staff before the start of the 2016–17 season.[24] Smith began his freshman season playing in two exhibition games against Lynn University and Barton College.[26][27] In his debut for the Wolfpack, Smith played 36 minutes and dished out five assists in an 81–79 victory against Georgia Southern.[28] On November 21, 2016, Smith recorded a then-career-high 24 points to go along with 8 assists, defeating Saint Joseph's University, 73–63, in the Paradise Jam tournament.
