JR Smith was originally slated to attend UNC out of high school. But thought better of it when he realized he was going to be a top draft pick in 2004.

He would go on to play 16 years in the NBA playing for five different franchises. He won championships with LeBron James in 2016 with the Cavaliers. And then again when they teamed up with the Lakers in 2020.

Congrats to JR Smith on a successful first semester in school!
