BasketJackets' Adam Smith explains reasons for transfer to the NATS

[GTJT622]

A good article outlining Adam Smith's recent journey from Blacksburg back "home" to Atlanta... http://www.roanoke.com/sports/colle...cle_b9aec5b9-0cab-5cfd-b51c-9edce9c9aeef.html

Tech has been missing a consistent threat from the perimeter - with the key word being "consistent" - and at least for one season, CBG has that in Smith, who shot 42% from outside the arc last year and led the Hokies in scoring. I can see scenarios where Smith may play some point and Tadric Jackson is at the 2 together on the court at the same time.

Q: Playing without Marcus, Adam and James was not ideal, especially since Adam and James are newcomers. Yet, you have film on them and know Marcus well. So, did their absences help give more run to those you know less about?

A: "Not only more opportunities, but put guys in more roles. Those guys, the more their roles expand, the more it's going to help this year and when Marcus doesn't come back.

"Obviously, you'd like to have Marcus and Adam, but as the fourth- and seventh-leading returning scorers in the ACC . . . we still need those guys to improve, but they're kind of known commodities."
