Meet Josh Smith, the country’s No. 1 junior big man

Posted Feb 23, 2009
Basketball analysts aren’t afraid to throw around monikers like “man-beast,” “baby-Shaq,” and the overused phrase “he has a great motor.” Every time Digger Phelps and Jay Bilas throw those around the scouting reports, most basketball people roll their eyes and find reason to down on the kid. Don’t let that happen with Josh Smith.

Josh is huge. Right now he’s 6-10, 270 pounds, so he’s bigger than just about everybody he plays (SLAM Online)
