Dennis Smith Jr. Hosts Six Teams at Pro Day, Will Meet With Boston

N.C. State point guard Dennis Smith Jr. held a Pro Day at his old school on Thursday and six NBA teams attended.

The Knicks attended the workout, as did Charlotte, Dallas, Detroit, Miami and Minnesota.

From there, Smith Jr. left Friday morning for Boston where he was slated to meet with Celtics GM Danny Ainge, a source told ZAGSBLOG.

Ange attended N.C. State’s walk through for their game at Boston College in January and also attended a game in Raleigh.

The Celtics own the No. 1 pick in Thursday’s NBA Draft and have been heavily linked to Washington guard Markelle Fultz.

Smith Jr. also worked out for the Lakers last week and had dinner with Phil Jackson of the Knicks but did not workout, as FanRagSports.com first reported.

His longtime trainer, Shawn Farmer, said that Smith Jr. would love the chance to play with Carmelo Anthony.

“Oh my God, he would love the chance to play with a guy like a Melo,” Farmer told FanRagSports.com. “Those guys are proven, USA (Basketball), Olympic players, I think he would mesh well. And Junior wants to learn now, too. He doesn’t just want to go in and think he knows everything. He wants to get up under those guys’ wing and learn from those guys.”
