ISH SMITH (DEN)
#14•I. SMITH
PG • 6’0, 175 lbs; 13th year, Wake Forest
SALTY DOG
NBA ROLE: SPEEDY PLAYMAKER
A fleet-footed, past-first PG, Ish Smith has been all over the map since beginning his career in 2010 – 12 TEAMS in 13 years – always in high demand for anyone searching for a reliable, veteran playmaker; like a speedy kick returner who can break a game wide open, Smith’s burners are second to none – perhaps the fastest guard in the league, Ish can get by anyone; sometimes too quick for his own good, can struggle w/ turnovers; starting to swish (from downtown, shot 35% in 2017-18), complementing his drive & kick; smart PnR decision-maker: adept float game, can loft lob passes to streaking bigs; high-quality PG w/ experience (won 1st title in 2023!) – Ish is normally one of the league’s top backups
