Terquavion Smith is leaving NC State for the 2023 NBA draft after his sophomore season.
“I’m forgoing my college eligibility and going all the way in,” Smith said. “I’m thankful for everything the NC State coaching staff and fans have done for me. This is the right decision for me to take care of my family.”
Smith is the No. 30 prospect in the draft by ESPN.
Smith finished as the second-leading scorer in the ACC as well as the second most prolific 3-point shooter with 91 makes on the season.
“I showed a lot of different things this year,” Smith said. “Teams wanted to see me be more of a point guard, making the right play, making the right decisions. They wanted to see me improve my finishing, and I increased that. I showed I can be a leader.”
Smith surprisingly withdrew from the 2022 NBA draft after an impressive showing at the pre-draft camp in Chicago.
