UNC's K.J. Smith played college basketball at the highest level. Now, he's covering it as an analyst
Posted Sep 6, 2021
K.J. Smith is using his time at UNC and his connections in the college basketball and NBA worlds to hit the ground running in a newly created role. “I learned a lot from UNC about judging talent, what an NBA pro looks like. There’s a lot of players I’ve seen and had my eyes on since I’ve been playing to where I can say: ‘Yeah, this guy is the real deal.’”
