NC State's Tracy Smith to test NBA Draft waters

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

04/29/2010 - Raleigh, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - North Carolina State junior forward Tracy Smith has entered his name into consideration for the NBA Draft, but has not hired an agent.

Smith retains the opportunity to return to the Wolfpack for his senior year, provided he withdraws his name from the field by the May 8 deadline.

The 6-foot-8 Smith led NC State in scoring at 16.5 points per game and rebounding with 7.3 caroms. He was named to the All-ACC second team and topped the conference in field goal percentage (.654).

"I love playing basketball at NC State, but this would be a win-win situation for me if I am able to take advantage of it," said Smith. "This would give me a great opportunity to see where I stack up against other NBA prospects."

The Detroit native tied for the team lead with 35 blocks and was second in steals with 40 in averaging 32.1 minutes and starting 35 games as a junior.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.

Bet NFL Sports Lines

Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.

Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.

A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.

Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.

Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.

Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.

And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
