Khristian Smith has only scratched the surface of his vast potential. Considered a breakout candidate, the 6-foot-5 junior is projected to be a major contributor for the Pike Red Devils in 2008-09. As we discovered, the forward has a soft spot for hoops and sports cars. We quizzed his mom and his assistant basketball coach to settle the score. So who really knows Khristian best?
    Smith worked his way to the varsity level late last year, providing a boost off the bench. This season, the talented double-figure scoring threat will be an anchor in head coach Phil Spoljaric's lineup. As a sophomore, Smith averaged 7.7 points per game and 3.2 rebounds.
