NC State's Tracy Smith to test NBA Draft waters

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

04/29/2010 - Raleigh, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - North Carolina State junior forward Tracy Smith has entered his name into consideration for the NBA Draft, but has not hired an agent.

Smith retains the opportunity to return to the Wolfpack for his senior year, provided he withdraws his name from the field by the May 8 deadline.

The 6-foot-8 Smith led NC State in scoring at 16.5 points per game and rebounding with 7.3 caroms. He was named to the All-ACC second team and topped the conference in field goal percentage (.654).

"I love playing basketball at NC State, but this would be a win-win situation for me if I am able to take advantage of it," said Smith. "This would give me a great opportunity to see where I stack up against other NBA prospects."

The Detroit native tied for the team lead with 35 blocks and was second in steals with 40 in averaging 32.1 minutes and starting 35 games as a junior.
