"I wanted to be a pro already, working on stuff that NBA players work on. In high school, you can't work out as much as they do at OTE. My goal wasn't to play college," Tyler Smith said. "It's to play in the NBA. This will get me there faster and make me more ready once I'm there. I've been talking to them for three months already. They've been telling me they have NBA facilities, trainers and nutritionists from NBA teams."
