Drew Smith is a fearless, electric combo guard who plays the game at a relentless pace. With explosive blow-by speed, he leaves defenders frozen as he carves through the lane with ruthless aggression. Drew is shifty and unpredictable, attacking gaps with a level of physicality that demands defensive attention. If they collapse, his court vision kicks in, threading pinpoint passes to open teammates like a seasoned playmaker. Beyond his ability to get downhill, Drew is a lethal sniper from beyond the arc, launching deep-range shots with a quick, fluid release. His offensive firepower is matched by his defensive tenacity. Drew is scrappy, active, and relentless. He doesn't just defend; he disrupts, making life miserable for opposing ball handlers with his high-energy approach. Whether running the offense or playing off the ball, Drew’s versatility, IQ, and non-stop motor make him a dynamic force every second he's on the floor.
This season, Drew is averaging 11.2 points, 2.5 assists, and 2.3 rebounds per game while shooting a scorching 41% from three and an impressive 83% from the free-throw line. His biggest improvement came in his physical development, adding 18 pounds of muscle through relentless training and a disciplined approach to nutrition. This offseason, he's locked in on leveling up every aspect of his game while becoming more assertive, tighter with the ball, more dominant at the rim, and even more disruptive on defense. Drew is playing for KYIN Hoops on the Puma Circuit with a fierce hunger to win it all alongside his teammates. But first, his sights are set on finishing the high school season strong, pushing through regionals, and chasing a state championship.
Drew’s fire is fueled by an intense belief in his work. When adversity strikes, there’s no panic Drew trust in the grind, knowing that the hours in the gym will pay off when the lights shine the brightest. The best advice Drew has ever received is to Control what you can control and let the work speak for itself. That mentality keeps Drew locked in.
