instagram: @desmith4 @bignickwilly @slowmotion00

[@mrhoopfan1]

Now THIS is a game realistic workout...Shout out to his skill development coach!

[@reginaldanderson7171]

Most underrated player in the draft.

[@michaels6951]

Imagine how much more athletic he'd be if he didn't tear his ACL.

[@reginaldanderson7171]

Michael S He looks more explosive than he did at ncst. I think he's just now back to 100% from his injury.

[@DoughJames]

You must believe that he's the best player in the draft. That's the only way you can say that.

[@reginaldanderson7171]

DoughJames I do.

[@DoughJames]

reginald anderson yea, that's the only way you can believe that. But he's not the best player or the most underrated player in this draft.

[@MEDICI92]

Yo...at 00:16 mark he like, lets the ball roll out in front of him, sort of jogs with zero explosion, barely gathers, and windmills it. Crazy. Really does have a 48 inch vertical

[@devinfarmer7848]

that's crazy 😂😂

[@MEDICI92]

I've never seen anyone under 6'2" windmill so easily. Its like he's Zach Lavine, but he's 4-5 inches shorter. Insanity

[@a5a346]

Peter B. He 6'3

[@MEDICI92]

He's a little shorter than that, but same thing. He's no taller than 6'0.75" without shoe. Good standing reach though, at around 8'2."

[@TheRealH2dut]

Peter B. Actually he's 6'3". His wingspan is also 6'3" which might make him look shorter.

[@rayjordan813]

What a pleasure to watch his plays. He's like perfection lol.

[@desmondhawkins1359]

Man D Smith Jr tough this boy the best player in the draft these NBA experts tripping

[@coreydarko8492]

Desmond Hawkins not better than fultz dumbass

[@jordan_-vl1cq]

Watch Dennis take home roty award #YouSLEEP

[@jameslincoln75]

I'm praying the Lakers wise up and pick this kid. He's a beast.

[@Kenny-sx2fm]

RIGHT!? I'd love to see this.

[@martyvoyzey]

james lincoln good thing u ain't the GM. lonzo plays for his teammates not himself

[@jameslincoln75]

That's what they said about D'Angelo. Everyone was hyped when he got selected too.We will just have to wait an see who turns out the be better. I think Ball is going to be a BUST at No 2 pick

[@martyvoyzey]

james lincoln lol their playstyles are nothing alike and ima come back to this

[@ronaldgoldsmith2502]

Whoever put the workout together is going places. Good summary of NBA action combined with the appropriate micro emphasis. Love it

[@geneom3251]

the best player in the draft... without a doubt.

[@brennanault7897]

Honestly the only reason this kid is not the number 1 pick is because he has a major knee injury, otherwise he's definitely the best prospect I have seen this year.

[@kyleng7309]

Brennan Ault absolutely. Refined skills solid built figure great athleticism

[@jermaineblalock5553]

Brennan Ault Thank you for seeing what I see..smh

[@travisjacque4262]

Brennan Ault and it's because he is very inconsistent. I know everyone has seen the big Duke game but he played subpar against other teams

[@DoughJames]

Brennan Ault That is not why. He's not the #1 pick b/c he's not the best player. You all are looking at some handpicked highlights from practice and saying he's the best player lol He's good. But his high school nor collegiate play, along with his size, doesn't warrant him being the #1 pick. However, he's a great athlete.

[@7Roxer]

travis Jacque Also the game of basketball is changing. 6'3 is like the below average athlete height now. The league now wants bigger guys who can handle the ball. Ball and Fultz are taller and longer, and can handle just as well.

[@xXzimonzXx]

that pick and roll split at 0:27, ya'll dont understand how tough that dribble he did was

[@pamperkingjazi7397]

This kid is very special it crazy NOBODY talks about HIM SIXERS

[@bobbyjones7124]

so so underrated. been watching him since freshman high school.

[@montezjones9962]

NC State really made Dennis smith an even more beast than he was already.

[@theweatherguy9839]

Montez Jones Damn and that's comming from a UNC fan I have just grown a little tinny bit of respect for y'all lol

[@montezjones9962]

The Weather Guy I'm just a fan of Dennis smith. Been watching since his high school days.

[@Jmoore1334]

stop talking about knee injury,this dude jus recorded at 48 inch vertical and most nba players have a 34 inch... go watch his game against duke at duke highlights. hes absolutely incredible

[@Beanzzz907]

Josh Moore 1 game

[@yallniggastrippin1839]

Dillon Barros ?

[@Beanzzz907]

Y'all niggas Trippin' you can't say, "guys he's good trust me watch his highlights vs duke" highlights don't mean shit. if u watched the majority of their season he was not a factor in a lot of their big matchups, disappeared a lot in games. streaky player

[@yallniggastrippin1839]

Dillon Barros Just wait. Higher vertical in NBA history! But I agree with u with the "1 game" argument.

[@DaveMillennial]

Dillon Barros highlights do mean...something...? but not always. and to put what you said into context, he played a lot of non factor teams, but when the lights were on and games mattered, he was the best player on the floor. also, he is the only player to record 2 triple doubles in one season in the acc.

[@adon31997]

Dallas is gonna be a beast with this young man. They will build a team around him. DSJ is very EXPLOSIVE, and has a beautiful shot!

[@richardlawrence5742]

My favorite prospect . Steven Francis opps I mean Dennis Smith Jr 💯💯💯👌

[@bobbyjones7124]

and he is only getting better. that injury he had. made him stronger. he is bigger and still explosive. only going to get better.

[@flashbaccsofliberation5264]

This kid is going to be something special mark my words

[@hunchoshaq5493]

I'm proud of my dawg man keep puttin on for the ville.

[@bensonalexander5264]

This dude is going to be killing it in the NBA.

[@bizzle2260]

this is the goat in the making

[@ManagerMia]

What I like is, not just the vert, but the speed in which he gets up!! Westbrook style!

[@benkubenku1]

This guy moves like Dwayne Wade or Jordan, it's unreal.

[@davidsayimright57]

best PG in the draft

[@tonniecollier7256]

This the best workout I seen as far as making it game like

[@elice05]

Huge fan of this cat right here

[@slayves9990]

I have no clue how they have this guy projected to go between 8-12. He is the best player in this draft. Just watch him. These scouts and GMs complicate their evaluations with so much unnecessary shit. It's pretty clear. Dennis is a beast. I'd take him over Lonzo so damn fast.

[@elianoavila90]

me too. I would have picke D smith with the number 1 pick. Only flaw i see is that the game is changing and the best players need to be able to guard 4 positions like Draymond, Lebron, Igudala. Defense matters but yea D Smith is nasty

[@coreydarko8492]

VolumeZ Lonzo isn't re projects number one pick and wasn't wtf is wrong with u ppl sleeping on fuckinf fultz fuck u guys show the number one pick some damn respect smith isn't better than fulrz this is y u aren't qualified to be a talent evaluater dumbass

[@coreydarko8492]

elianoavila90 ur stupid

[@coreydarko8492]

elianoavila90 he isn't better than fulrz 😂😂

[@vmptaz1685]

Didn’t age well lol

[@jae350gt]

He's my 1st pick in the draft. Ready to watch him kill it

[@edsoncharlotin8755]

And the Knicks said nah let's get the French guy who averages 5ppg

[@oakinw8361]

Lmao

[@drejones926]

Him and Terrance Ferguson so underrated

[@deeprelaxation4895]

He gone be another westbrook, watch and see! I love watching him play!

[@ebbuckets]

His bounce is crazy!

[@swagga27yea]

His jumper is automatic! One of the top canidates for NBA Rookie of the Year for next season.

[@CloverPickingHarp]

He'll be the Paul Pierce of this draft.

[@ManagerMia]

saw him a few years back, thought he was special then. barring injury, he's going to be really good!!!!

[@RadiusAthletics]

who is the coach in charge of this workout. this is way better than most other predraft workouts I've seen.

[@christophercostello4824]

Nick Friedman

[@timcumagun5319]

Rookie of the year

[@vicballs4832]

best player in the draft imo

[@xaviermarvin7998]

real shit this shoild be #1 pick in the draft

[@ronnyrambo3407]

hes gonna get rookie of tha year ive been saying this for a while

[@HeavyDei0n]

It's going to be lit in Dallas😜

[@cashcronicles3161]

My boy ready!

[@SaintFrost11]

Hope all these teams keep sleeping so the Knicks can get him

[@djondis]

9thWonderJ looks like the knicks was sleepin too

[@SaintFrost11]

Dejarin Mouton Guess im a Mavs fan now🤷🏿‍♂️ with whats going on in the Knicks organization right now im glad they didn't pick Dennis

[@greatestever8825]

9thWonderJ no need to worry we've just acquired Damyean Dotson with our 44th pick, he averaged 17ppg shooting 44% from 3pt this year!! Ntilikina and Dotson = Deadliest defensive backcourt

[@shawnreisz4519]

Welcome to the Mavs! Let's get to work! #mavsfan4life

[@sleeks9939]

This dude is raw #Theonetheyslepton #beast

[@israelisrael255]

let's go Detroit Pistons we got to have this guard baby

[@harlemkidd82485]

This dude is a savage. Tough decision at 8 for NY if u gotta choose between him and Ntilikina. Obviously DSJ is more skilled offensively, but Frank has such a good all-around game, u can see him fitting well in 🔼. But dammit this guy is tempting lol

[@miguelthomas4476]

harlemkidd82485 Gotta go with Dennis

[@ryancollins8455]

harlemkidd82485 if he's available I think you go with Dennis over frank, and drafting for triangle fit doesn't make sense when phil will be gone in 2 years

[@acev8681]

Welcome to Dallas!!!

[@demetriusjohnson5358]

wow, this dude looks amazing.. look perfect bro, curious to see how he turn's out this NBA season

[@bigdawgstayingtru2281]

lets go mavs

[@robertgray7887]

Should have been the #1 pick without question!

[@theonenonlycloud]

i sense some Westbrook in this dude.

[@mandunya]

Boy better fix his landing mechanics if he wants those knees healthy

[@kingcypher2475]

Pharaoh Vito yea really. might be the next Drose

[@mandunya]

facts

[@kinggoldie5318]

Pharaoh Vito I'm glad I'm not the only one watching closely at that. Especially with the grind of a season and the other contact his knees without a doubt will take. THAT IS THE FACTOR.. *insert John Wall as conscience*

[@Domo8186]

rookie of the year

[@oldnbaschool]

Plays like Baron Davis/Steve Francis. That's a good sign from basketball perspective, hopefully his career will be a better one.

[@Doseyahn]

He's a beast

[@delljones2582]

I know one thing he definitely needs to be in the dunk contest tho

[@bobright1617]

Best player in the draft to me hands down, Ball will be a good passer above average player, Fox will be a decent player, Fultz will be a bust, Dennis Smith jr, will bust niggas asses for the next 12 years

[@coreydarko8492]

Bob Right seriously y do u think fulrz will be a bust he's the surest thing in this draft I hate this comment pisses now off pls delete this this is idiotic

I just hope this dudes acl stays in tact

STEAALLLLL OFFFF THEEE DRAFFFTTTTT!!! period

[@claudegallman5112]

This dude is sleeper of the draft

[@sicnarfcalata09]

the future of Orlando magic!

[@seroyal1089]

sicnarfcalata09 💯, hell yeah

[@andresgarza6433]

I think the magics are gonna go for Jonathan Isaac tbh. Dennis smith will fall to 8 or 9

[@sicnarfcalata09]

Andres Garza Isaac scares me cuz I heard he has an inconsistent j but he has a high ceiling!

[@seroyal1089]

Andres Garza if they don't pick either Dennis or Malik, I'm done with the magic man fr

[@briangallagher710]

Fultz, Monk and Smith are the three best players in the draft this season.

[@Jsb3737]

dam, im reading the comments and all i hear is splashes from the ball going in the goal. SWISHH

[@richyung4502]

Best player in this draft wait and see

[@coreydarko8492]

rich yung dumbass

[@coreymorgan2702]

If he improves his handles and decelope a faster-quicker dribble, this guy could be top ten player in the NBA

[@kreglfromworld]

People sleeping on him cuz he not a true PG and he kinda small for a SG, but I still think in 5 years people gonna see him the steal of this draft

[@grantolson7507]

Welcome to the Mavs!!!!!!!

[@mrrommel98]

The Knicks got lucky with Porzingis....Phil wanted Okafur! This time around he wants Frank Ntilkina but the second best PG prospect in this draft is DENNIS SMITH JR!

[@Wazzap95003156]

R Jones idiot, I'm not a Knick fan but everyone knows Phil wanted kp. Your fan base booed the kid and called it the worst pick ever . #facts

[@PlatinumJimmy_Jr]

Ntilikina better be a GOAT Passing on DS and Monk SMDH

[@SoulVernacular23]

you never see players working on fighting through picks while on D... good to see for once

[@nexxlevel4590]

Him and Markelle are like EXACTLY the same

[@raysprint4923]

jonathan bailey no

[@anthonyantmanedwardsisbett8197]

jonathan bailey No...Fultz is slow

[@720quickscope]

He jumps and lands so much like D.Rose. I hope he doesn't re-injure his knee

[@SidestickPilot]

I hope he kills it in the league.

[@Nolimitsydd]

Biggest steal of the draft for sure, hope the mavericks can get him. NYK will ruin his career

[@miguelthomas4476]

Nah he fits the NYK attitude and he would be a fan favorite here

[@Nolimitsydd]

BIG STEAL

[@rebellife8882]

reminds me of dwyane Wade with a better perimeter game

[@ThereWasThisBchFromMinnesota]

More explosive Damian Lillard?

[@nashmuhegan584]

Russell The Monstar Westbrook ehh... lillards a better shooter and passer

[@allamokrane2918]

Russell The Monstar Westbrook exactly my thoughts...but dont sleep on Damz explosivness

[@davidchandler6885]

thing u notice really althetic but he doesnt really have quick feet which u usually need as guard

[@gonewiththewin]

David Chandler your tripping he has the quickest first step in his class.

[@ThePnoyboyz]

Elias Doe u forgetting bout Dearron Fox brodie

[@clsupreme7408]

If he went to Kentucky he woulda been a top 3 pick
