Underrated Pittsburgh kid got lucky with NSU❤️ thankful to be around a bunch of great people
Nick Smith drains a pair at the line, giving him 16 points for the day and surpassing the 1,000-point mark for his career!
And he still has a full season left to add to it!
Congrats, Nick!

His game translates to the next level too 📈 don’t let 16% fool you. 6 three point attempts because he’s doing what’s better for his team. Way above average 3 point shooter that can score at all 3 levels 🦈
