As a Mavs fan Im excited. Superstar or not he will be good. Love that he doesnt waste time, doesnt try to look fancy just beats his defender quick.
Young Buck I know right, us Mavs fans got lucky with this one, this is literally the perfect situation for all parties
Young Buck a Dennis "Westbrook " Smith Jr
Young Buck yea
I know yall seen him snatch that ball from Lonzo Ball at 10:45.
Look forward to him replicating that when we play the Lakers this season
FrStreetnc I'd take dennis smith over lonzo ball
im not liking this comment cause i dont wanna break 41 likes
he is a future superstar I have no doubt in my mind the Knicks and every team but Philly will be kicking their selfs for skipping on Dennis but I'm so happy they did the first time in forever the mavs have a rookie to be excited about
Domo Skyy well he’s with our Knicks now baby
@@tr3ybandz458 and my Mavs now have Kristaps. nice doing business with you
Too bad they don’t use him right
best in the draft

LMAO this aged well
these are the most useful basketball videos on youtube
+Tre Staff Really appreciate that man !
Dude, you know your stuff.
Can't wait to see the way Carlisle can impact a player that has high talent and top tier athleticism.
Type of player that could fall in love with the coach and never leave. I called the pick in march, really glad they took him.
Thanks for this awesome vid. Best breakdown of Smith BY FAR, and I've watched a lot of them.
Been saying he will and now he's in the perfect position to be great just watch
This guy a all star already
Love your breakdown Videos , keep up the great work
Great video and analysis!!
hopefully mavs have no trouble resigning noel, he and smith could end up having amazing 2 man give n go/lob action going.
LOVE IT AND CAN"T WAIT FOR NEXT SEASON! GO MAVS!
He went to the best possible team to perfect his shot. Mavs have the best shooting coaches.
True man, and it also includes Holger Geschwindner, Dirk's shooting coach from Germany. So yea, I'm willing to bet that Smith Jr.'s shooting should improve throughout his NBA career.
The part that really gets me excited about Smith though is, I feel that that the Mavs are the perfect fit for him because of the ability of the team to create spacing on the floor. I can't think of a team that creates more space (other than the Warriors) while Dirk is on the floor to draw out a 4, or a lot of times a 5. With Dirk, Curry and Matthews' ability to shoot the 3, Smith will have all the space he needs to beat his guy for easy buckets.
The Mavs haven't had a guy that could legit create his own shot since MAYBE Monte Ellis, but even Monte didn't have the ball handling ability or explosiveness that Smith has.
I can't wait for next season.
Cause he's Derrick Rose and Damian lillard
These videos are just great keep it up please
great pick up can't wait to see him go at ball can't wait to see the moves Cuban continue to make hopefully we get some more monsters for a great yr to come LET'S GO DIRT!!!!!
Great Video! As a Mavs fan I couldnt be more excited about Smith Jr. The only thing I am missing in this video is his weaknesses. I am sure he has some and it would have been nice if you would have mentioned them. Its always nice to know them before and to see how a player develops over the course of his first season. Keep up the great work!
Only thing I'm worried about is his health. 82 game season plus the playoffs... that's a lot of wear and tear on the body. This guy has all the intangibles to be a great player. I'm not too much worried about his defense, simply for the fact that we have Rick Carlisle (top 3 coach in the league) as our coach. He will put Dennis where he needs to be defensively, and build up his defensive IQ when it comes to defensive rotations. Offensively, well I'm already wanting to go see this guy play at AA Center and light teams up lol. We got us a gem and a steal in this PG loaded draft. One that will go down in the books I believe as one of the best. #MAVSNATION
As a Mavs fan,I know he will not disappoint.
awesome video well commentated too :)
yeaaa he got A LOT of potential!!!
Great video bro 👍👍👍👍👍
Pretty much all I needed to know now about DSJ, and I'm excited. He's in the perfect situation, especially extending his game wise with coach Carlise and this young Mavs team we're starting too have. Steal! IMO. Go Mavs! #MFFL
Markelle Fultz next please? I know that his high school highlights will be a bit different from college because he developed different skills but it would be appreciated. love the videos, keep up the excellent work!
Dennis Smith is the 3rd best player of this year's draft.While I don't believe that he will be better than Markelle Fultz or Josh Jackson,he will be a Superstar if develops correctly.He got underrated in this year's draft becasue of a injury from 2 years ago.The Dallas Maverick got a true steal in this year's draft and teams like the Lakers,maybe the Kings(tho I believe DeAaron Fox will be decent to good player with a outside chance he becomes a superstar if he becomes a better shooter and passer),the Magic,the Bulls and the Knicks.
I agree with you on Fox. At this point, Smith has the better physical profile due to his strength and explosiveness, better shooting, and better scoring ability because he has a more complex handle than Fox. And while people laude Fox over his defensive potential because of his lateral quickness, he is rail thin and needs a lot of work on his technique. (I'll still give him the edge there because he showed more desire to defend than Smith did at times).
What also isn't talked about enough with Smith is his passing ability. He had some special games this year passing the ball and averaged 6.2 assists per game which was more than both Fultz and Fox (and note that Fox had much more talent around him than Smith did). I was watching the draft the other day and was surprised by how much the "experts" were pegging him as a score first PG who doesn't pass the rock much.
Finally, when thinking about Smith's potential and how he was definitely undervalued in this draft, you have to look at his rebounding potential. He averaged nearly 5 boards per game and had a couple double digit rebounding games that resulted in triple doubles for him.
If Smith had been in a better situation and had a chance at a tournament run like Fox, Smith would have been drafted over him easily. The one thing I will say about Fox is that he seems like more of a leader than Smith does at this point in his career, but hey both these guys are young, and Smith is going into a very positive culture in Dallas where he does not have to be the leader right away because of the veterans on the team. This will give him a chance to learn from the likes of Wes Matthews, Harrison Barnes, and of course Dirk, 3 of the most poised, hard working athletes in the league.
This is a great commentary!!!. You really did your homework. Im picking him for "Rookie of the Year"
+Mr Bodez Thank you and I agree I think he'll be ROY
