Smith's fantasy value has remained relatively stagnant through his first three years in the Association. The No. 3 overall pick from 2022 has taken steps forward in some areas, and arguably steps back in others. Perhaps the most concerning trend is that his assists-included usage rate has declined each season, and a significant spike in efficiency compared to his sophomore year didn't materialize. In 30.1 minutes per game last season, Smith averaged 12.2 points and 1.7 threes on 44/35/83 shooting, 7.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.4 steals. He remains mostly a spot-up shooter offensively and hasn't made sizable strides as a self-creator or playmaker for others. And while the Auburn product is a good, versatile defender, that's not reflected in his steals or blocks production. Plus, he was moved to the bench at the end of last season to accommodate Amen Thompson's breakout. With Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks being swapped out for Kevin Durant, Smith should move back into the starting five. But that doesn't mean more shots will be available for him. He's the least offensively talented player in the projected starting five. Smith's real-life potential this season as a winning player on a good team is probably higher than his fantasy value. Optimistic fantasy managers could take Smith inside the top 100, but it's probably not necessary, if it's even necessary to draft him at all.
