Another fellow on his way to camp: point guard Lanny Smith. Like Davidson, Smith played under Bryan Gates at Idaho of the D-League. A product of the University of Houston, the 24-year-old Smith suffered a catastrophic foot injury during his original senior season in 2006-07 — doctors told him he may never play again. He came back, though, and played 20 minutes a game for UH in 2007-08 before making his way to Idaho, where he played mostly as a back-up.

Smith also participated in the recent NBA Asia Challenge, which is notable because 49-year-old Dominique Wilkins dunked on South Korean players during a game.
