Really Overdue 2010 D-League Draft Review
94th: - Maine Red Claws - JaJuan Smith, TennesseeJaJuan Smith is also a shooter, and he too is no stranger to the D-League. After starting his professional career with a training camp contract with the Mavericks in 2008, Smith first spent a season in France, then moved to Brazil to begin the 2009/10 season, then bizarrely played one game in the Spanish third division, and then came to the D-League, where he finished up the season with the Tulsa 66ers. Smith averaged 7.9ppg, 3.1rpg and 2.9apg in the 66ers final four regular season games, but did not shoot the ball well. Smith hasn't had the best professional career thus far, but if he gets back to what he was, he could be a steal this far down the draft; he's a good shooter with a quick release, but he's also interested defensively and on the glass. Maybe he's a bit of a known article, and he's limited (no off the dribble game or point guard skills to speak of), but he's certainly got more pedigree behind him than some of the shooters draft ahead of him.
