DeShawn Painter: ‘My Turn’
3 Comments
Last season DeShawn Painter watched as fellow freshmen Scott Wood and Richard Howell logged significant minutes for the Wolfpack and played a major role in the team’s successful run in the ACC tournament. Painter knew he had it in him to be on that floor, he knew he was talented enough to play a major role for the Wolfpack, but it was a matter of looking inside and bringing it out. Three years ago DeShawn Painter wasn’t in this position. Painter was the #11 ranked rising junior in the nation and was being recruited heavily by the most elite programs...

When Wolfpack head coach Sidney Lowe moved DeShawn Painter from the 4 spot to the 5 it seemed as if it would be a few more seasons until Painter would find himself with any kind of significant role for the Wolfpack. Tracy Smith, NC State’s leading scorer, rebounder and second team All-ACC selection was one of the top players in the conference. Any player challenging him for his starting spot would surely take a back seat. That was until Smith briefly entered his name into this June’s NBA draft. “The main thing is he wanted to put his name in just in case....

TRACY SMITH TALKS WITH PACK INSIDER PI: What’s been the biggest different from last season to this season? TS: Just working hard. Last year, I noticed when I was watching my films I didn’t really run the floor as much as I’ll run the floor this year. This past off-season I worked on my 15 footer, my face-up game, my jumpshot, I just think everything is getting better right now. PI: So you’ve worked on your ballhandling? Are you going to face up and take people to the rim instead of banging? TS: I’m trying to work on my face-up,...

The signing of DeShawn Painter not only gave the Pack the number 13 rated recruiting class nationally, but it also shored up a depleted frontcourt that lost both leading scorers in Brandon Costner and Ben McCauley. Painter saw this glaring hole in the front court as an opportunity. He’s ready and willing to work hard in hopes that he’s the one that will make the Pack fans forget the loss of the two experienced bigs. We got to talk to DeShawn last night and he filled us in on his decision to run with the Pack and the role he’s...
DeShawn Painter: The Story Behind the Story
No comments
DeShawn Painter’s name came out of nowhere about a month ago when a few things suddenly changed. Once thought to be attending Florida as a member of the 2010 class, Painter got his act together, pulled up his grades and began looking for a school where he could contribute immediately. Enter NC State where Sidney Lowe was looking to bring in some upper echelon ACC talent and well, you know the rest of the story. What you may not know is the story behind the story on DeShawn Painter. Painter grew up in Norfolk, Virginia, 20 minutes outside of Virginia...

Sidney Lowe just keeps’em coming as he scooped up another 4 star recruit today. Deshawn Painter, a 6’9, 200lbs PF committed to the Pack in a signing that sures up a depleted front line that lost two of its starters (and leading scorers) in Costner and McCauley. Painter who many had given up on after his coach declared him not qualified and shared plans of having Painter reclassify as a class of 2010 prospect. This signing puts what many see as the finishing touches on an already superb recruiting class that should be credited to the hard work of Sidney...

NC State Rides Wood in Victory Over Wake 87-76

NC State 87 – Wake Forest 76 Boxscore  GAME RECAP NC State used a red hot Scott Wood (23 points) and solid performances from the rest of their starting five to out-gun the Demon Deacons 87.76. It was a true game of runs with Wake striking first thanks to Chase Fischer and Travis McKie doing damage early , but NC State stormed back using Woods hot hand. That had the Pack in it midway through the second half, but it wasn’t until late in the first that State really made their move and it wasn’t until midway through the second that they really got out to a sizable lead. State managed just 2 points off their bench and finished with a close rebounding margain but got very solid play from all 5 of their starters, limited the turnovers and got out on the break where they can be devastating. KEY STATS Wake played well tonight. They shot 50% from the field, 58% from 3 was only out-rebounded by three, but it wasn’t enough as State racked up 19 assists to only 9 turnovers as a team and turned that into 19 fast break points (to Wake’s 4). Player wise you have to look…
