Lucas: Baby Jet

Posted Sep 12, 2017
UNC sophomore transfer K.J. Smith has an extensive Tar Heel history. He's the son of Carolina star Kenny "The Jet" Smith, a lightning-fast point guard whose jersey hangs in the Smith Center rafters. But his father's busy life in basketball and his family's home in California never permitted an in-season trip to Chapel Hill. Don't doubt the family's love for the Tar Heels, however. (GoHeels.com)
