Smith impacted the game in a variety of ways off the bench playing up an age group as Team Thad rolled to a win to open up pool play. A knockdown shooter off the catch, Smith made shots off kickouts and was efficient when his feet were set. Maybe my favorite bucket from Smith was off a BLOB where he cut to the rim and got an open layup. Late in the shot clock Smith got the ball and made a quick crossover to get to the paint and score. Efficiency was key for Smith as well, finishing 7/9 from the floor.
