It looks as though former four-year Duke basketball guard Nolan Smith will be an assistant to another Blue Devil legend.
Former four-year Duke basketball guard Nolan Smith spent six seasons as an assistant under Mike Krzyzewski before joining Kenny Payne's staff at Louisville in 2022. That move occurred about the same time fellow 2010 national champion Jon Scheyer officially began his tenure as head coach of the Blue Devils.But Smith has been out of a job since the Cardinals parted ways with Payne in mid-March.
Dawkins, boasting a 148-103 record between his eight seasons at the helm with the Knights, has known Smith since he was in diapers and Dawkins was playing alongside Smith's father, the late Derek Smith, with the Philadelphia 76ers from 1989 to 1991. Johnny Dawkins was close with Nolan's late father Derek when the pair played for the 76ers in the 1990s. Johnny was a big reason Nolan went to Duke.Before beginning his coaching career in Durham, Nolan Smith, the No. 21 overall pick at the 2011 NBA Draft, saw action in 84 games across his two seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers. He then spent a few years playing overseas and in what was the NBA D-League .
Johnny Dawkins and Nolan Smith rank No. 2 and No. 18, respectively, on the all-time Duke basketball scoring list.Matt Giles is the editor and publisher of FanNation's Blue Devil Country and All Tar Heels, covering the Duke Blue Devils and UNC Tar Heels on SI.com.
