ESPN Analysis

Reggie is a strong and physical guard that can get to the rim at will. He can dribble through contact and finish in traffic. He's a work in progress at the point because he learning how to run a team and get others involved. He has a nice mid range pull up with good elevation. He seems to just go with the flow at times instead of controlling the game from the point.

Reggie's a physical defender that can stay in from of dribble penetration by putting his chest on the offensive player. Smith must work to be a better three point shooter although his can make a few when he is in rhythm. Smith has talent, good upside and is one to watch as he develops into a true point guard.
