Marcus Smart is expected to be one of the top players chosen in the NBA Draft Thursday, and it sounds like he could end up being drafted by the Utah Jazz.
Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski reported Thursday afternoon that the Jazz are giving Smart “serious consideration” at No. 5 overall.
Smart spent two seasons at Oklahoma State and averaged 18 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.9 steals per game as a sophomore while shooting 42.2 percent from the field. He’s versatile for a 6-foot-4 guard and can stuff the stat sheet.
Despite his encounter with an infamous Texas Tech fan during the season that resulted in tons of negative press, he’s still considered one of the top prospects in the draft class. Draft Express has him going No. 6 overall to the Celtics in their mock draft.
