Veteran guard Dennis Smith Jr. recently signed a contract with the NBA G League and was awarded to the Wisconsin Herd. Smith is holding a pro day in Orlando, where NBA executives are gathered for the annual G League Showcase. It's all part of Smith hoping to make it back onto an NBA roster.
Spanish club Real Madrid is also showing interest in signing Smith. The club reportedly has him on a list of potential targets to fortify their roster for the stretch run of the season.
Smith played in 56 games for the Brooklyn Nets last season. He averaged 6.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 18.9 minutes per game off the Nets bench. Smith also re-established himself as a quality backcourt defender last season.
