Each and every time Phenom Hoop Report gets to report or sees a commitment from a player we have seen over the years, it is always a fantastic day. It is great to see players achieve their goal to play at the next level and it is such a great accomplishment for that player.
Here is the latest commitment.

What Was Said by Phenom Hoops:
The 68 forward is a big skilled athletic post! Everything in the paint he finished above the rim. I like his ability to step out and knock down the three-ball as well as his short corner. He is a walking double-double. Phenom at Queen City Showcase
Theres a lot to like with Smith, who has all the tools to become a modern-day forward from the 3-and-D mold. Offensively, he mainly looks to get downhill and finish through contact, yet also shows perimeter capabilities and the ability to effectively spot-up without the ball. Smith is still growing as an overall shot creator, but he definitely has frequent flashes on offense, especially through the use of his quality athleticism around the basket. The idea that he could grow into a combo-forward with pick-and-pop potential is quite intriguing, and actually pretty realistic. That being said, Smith makes the most impact on defense, where he provides strong versatility and a consistently high motor. His length and athletic frame make him problematic for all types of opponents. The two-way forward will certainly emerge as one of the top prospects in South Carolina, regardless of class.

69 Forward for Team United is a big skilled athletic post! Everything in the paint he finished above the rim. I like his ability to step out and knock down the three ball as well as his short corner. He is a walking double-double, cant wait to see how he improves for Team United this summer!
