NBA Draft prospect: Jabari Smith, Auburn

2021-22 Stats: 15.2 PPG, 6.5 REB, 2.0 AST, 1.3 STL, 1.1 BLK, 43.8 FG%, 40.3 3PT%

Auburn forward Jabari Smith is one of the draft’s most well-rounded prospects and he may go first overall for that very reason. Smith has a nice touch, whether that’d be from mid-range or beyond the arc.

He’s a versatile defender as well as a solid athlete.

The only thing holding Smith back is that he’s still pretty raw at 18 years old. Nevertheless, Jabari Smith perhaps has the highest upside in the draft, making him perhaps, the most likely to get their name called first.
