Timmy Time Returns at ETSU: East Tennessee State fans will have one more year to witness their version of Mugsey Bogues. Rising senior guard Tim Smith has opted to return to school rather than remain in the NBA Draft. At 5-9, he must prove that he can overcome his height disadvantages. NBA scouts don’t feel he did that last season, so he will have one more season to improve his stock. Last season, Smith averaged 22.2 points, 4.2 assists and 2.2 steals per game. But he shot only 42 percent from the field and committed nearly five turnovers per game. At his height, Smith would be a point guard in the NBA, even though his game best matches a shooting guard’s skill set. Smith must improve his ball handling and shooting next season to become a legitimate draft candidate. [6/12/05]

-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
