Vallejo’s Greg Smith Signs With Timberwolves

Former Fresno State forward Greg Smith, has signed a 10 day contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves this week. Greg who last played for the Dallas Mavericks, has played for a few NBA teams, with his most time coming with the Houston Rockets. Smith saw starters minutes under Kevin McHale, before Dwight Howard signed to the Rockets. After Howard’s signing, Smith’s minutes would diminish, which would lead to the Rockets releasing him.

Smith is looking to keep a roster spot for the rest of the year with the Timberwolves, with future hall of famer Kevin Garnett, out with injuries. Smith played at Fresno State with NBA Superstar Paul George before making his way to the NBA. He would play his sophomore to senior year of high school in Fresno, California. Before moving to Fresno his sophomore year of high school, Greg grew up in Vallejo, California, attending Jesse Bethel high school his freshmen year with Denver Broncos running back and super bowl champion, CJ Anderson. Anderson and Smith are the same age, and actually grew up in North Vallejo together, attending Solano Middle School, before Jesse Bethel.
