The three new players, plus veterans Smith and Javier Gonzalez, will allow N.C. State to run a more uptempo, attacking offense. With Smith (6-8, 247), Leslie (6-8, 210) and Richard Howell (6-8, 266), the guards will have big targets to hit down low. "We’ve been trying to get to that point for a couple years," Lowe said. "You look at the teams that win, it’s not normally the teams that run a lot of sets. It’s the team that has players that can create opportunities for themselves and for their teammates."
