Dorian Finney-Smith
Measurements
6'8" 220 lbs 6'11" wingspan 23 years old
Pro comparison
Less skilled version of Jae Crowder or Khris Middleton
Strengths
Dorian Finney-Smith is another transfer who transferred from Virginia Tech to Florida, which caused him to miss a year of basketball. Smith has the potential to be a 3 and D player in the NBA. He plays within himself and does a good job of doing the small things on the court. He has a weird stroke, but it works for him as he shoots over 40% from 3. He has good size, strength, and length which makes him a versatile player on offense and defense as he can play both the SF and PF positions. He is a good rebounder and will get in a battle for boards. Smith is pretty raw offensively and has trouble creating his own shot. He is still too right hand dominant and can be easy to predict. He is an OK athlete, but he is not elite. He needs to improve his shooting consistency as sometimes his shot will be a little too wild. Lastly, Smith is an older player, like most transfers, and will need to show teams he can contribute sooner. Overall Smith has some good tools, but if he wants to stick around in the league he will need to become a good defender and a more consistent shooter.
