playoff game against Monk, and the Bentonville/NWA paper acknowledging that Smith outplayed Monk in that game.

Now, they are not the same position, but it is not a PG versus Center comparison that most think it was. It was more of a combo guard versus SF comparison and Smith had the ball in hi hands a lot in HS.

                         Hopefully he can be what Jeff Ferguson was envisioned to be - FIJItiger MU - 4/17 08:33:23
                              he's not Ferguson. - alwaysright MU - 4/17 12:10:19

                                                       yes as a freshman Smith compared to Bowers as a freshman - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/17 08:58:02
                                                            That leads me to question if you saw Bowers play as a fr - FIJItiger MU - 4/17 09:00:09
                                                                 Regarding Bowers as a freshman: - FIJItiger MU - 4/17 09:19:12

                                                                                               I only compared Smith and Bowers as freshmen - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/17 09:59:55
