Less than two weeks after signing New York City high school standout Sebastian Telfair, adidas has inked an endorsement deal with another high profile high school player, Josh Smith.

Adidas signed Smith to a six-year deal that guarantees him about $12 million, but could eventually be worth upwards of $20 million, sources told ESPN.com. Telfair signed an incentive-laden, six-year contract with the same shoe company that could equal Smith's guaranteed money.

"We think we now have the two gems in this year's NBA draft," adidas spokesman Travis Gonzolez said. "Josh is more of an unknown than Sebastian is, but it's our job to help get him out there."

Smith, a 6-foot-8 forward from Smyrna, Ga., is among the most athletic players in this year's draft class. Scouts have marveled at his vertical leap and rim-rocking dunks.

"The dunk is the most exciting play in basketball and it definitely helps sell shoes," Smith's agent, Wallace Prather, said.

Smith will be graduating from high school this Saturday. RealGM's affiliate draft site, Draftcity.com has him slated going 4th in thier 2004 mock draft.
