N.C. State’s Dennis Smith Jr. fully recovered, ready to go

Posted Jul 29, 2016
Dennis Smith Jr. sure looks ready. North Carolina State's prized freshman point guard is pushing through a workout in the practice gym on a hot July afternoon, and there's no sign of the knee injury that defined his past year. "I don't expect to be rusty at all," Smith said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I just have to go out there and perform, no excuses." (Associated Press)
