Dennis Smith Jr.’s comeback & other adidas Nations observations
Posted Aug 2, 2016
A camp like adidas Nations is going to mean different things to different players. For UNC junior Justin Jackson, who played in perhaps the greatest national championship game of all time four months ago, and will be gunning for a title again next April, it was a nice summer interlude in which to audition for NBA scouts. For NC State point guard Dennis Smith Jr., though, adidas Nations was an event.
