Jordan Smith Jr on Darius Acuff: I hope that I have the same success that he's had, since he's about to be a lottery pick

You mentioned Darius Acuff was a big reason why you chose Arkansas. You played against him and saw his success this past season. Do you feel like you can have the same type of success as he did?

Jordan Smith: I feel like me and Darius Acuff are two different people, but I feel like we're on the same path. Of course, we play different, but we also have some things that we play alike with. So I feel like it's two different stories, so I can't really compare myself to him.

But I hope that I do have the same success that he's had, just because he's about to be a lottery pick in the NBA. And I'm really just happy to see his growth, because I played him three times in high school.
