EvenMoney’s NBA Draft 2011 – Top 5 Centers, #5

#5 – Greg Smith

Greg Smith brings exceptional athleticism and an all-around game to balance out his raw offensive game. The additional drawback is that he barely reaches the height/weight requirement to play Center in the NBA.

Smith contributes the most off the ball via Assists, Steals and Blocks. He does have to improve his Rebounding and would be great for an uptempo team looking for a hybrid Center/Power Forward. Still not convinced? Ponder the stats below and press play!

Out of 138 players:
·        Greg Smith is an across the board second-round pick in all of the 4 metrics. Though this signifies the lack of depth for Centers coming out of the colleges, Smith has the chance to help many teams.
·        We project him to be picked in the second round – the early 50’s.
·        Considered as a whole (BPM), as well as for each specialty (PCM for Production; DIR for Defense; and TPA (Talent/Skill-set).
