I was looking for something and found something else, but what I wrote about Terquavion Smith on March 21, 2019.
NC State has had some good individual defenders over the years. Past coaches would have wings Courtney Fells, C.J. Williams or Devon Daniels guard the top perimeter scorer from opposing teams. Smith could end up taking on that role in Raleigh.
Big men, who if they aren't ready, will get dunked on by Smith, and he can get from end-to-end in a hurry. He'll need to get stronger in college, without question, but he plays with an edge.
Smith has complete confidence in his three-point shot, and that can be a good thing at times, but when it's not going in, he'll keep firing. He's the classic basketball gunslinger, who likely thinks the next one is going in.
The key for Smith is that when he is off from beyond the arc, to simplify things and take good shots with his feet set and shoulders squared.

3. Consistency On The Jumper
It's easy to ponder when Smith could have his best games — it's when his jumper is falling.Smith has complete confidence in his three-point shot, and that can be a good thing at times, but when it's not going in, he'll keep firing.
