Dennis Smith Jr is considered one of the best point guards in the country and, being a junior, he's got another year to get better. These highlights are comprised of six games played over two weeks, in two different holiday tournaments. The first is from the Chick-Fil-A Classic<\/a> played in Columbia, SC and the second is the HSOT Holiday Invitational<\/a> played in Raleigh, NC. Smith averaged over 25ppg in these six games and did so facing double teams the majority of the time. If Dennis Smith Jr can impress one of the NBA's best point guards, I'd say he might be worth giving a look.<\/p>\n
