▸What is impact?

Impact is how many points per game a player adds to his team. 0 is an average player, so a plus number means he's better than average and a minus number means he's below. It's Statboy's own number, based on everything he does on the court and the level he played against.

No college stats yet. LJ Smith is the #51 recruit in the country; his ranking and projected role come from how freshmen at that recruiting rank have done in their first season. His stats will show up here once games start.
