Raymond Felton mentors Nolan Smith

Posted Dec 19, 2011
The first time Nolan Smith realized Raymond Felton would be his "Big Bro" was at a pickup basketball game over the summer at UNC. Smith was making his first appearance at the regular offseason workouts, which feature NBA, college and other pro basketball players, and he was playing point guard on one of the teams when he noticed Felton sitting on the sideline scrutinizing him. After the game, Felton sauntered over to Smith for a one-on-one. (Oregonian)
