a low-volume guard with playmaking and disruptive defense
Howard Smith’s profile fits a guard who impacts the game more with facilitation and activity than scoring punch: in his listed college seasons, he averaged 4.1 assists and 1.7 steals per game in 2002-03, showing real floor-general instincts and on-ball disruption despite modest shooting efficiency[1]. He also posted 3.4 rebounds per game from the guard spot, which suggests toughness and willingness to rebound his position[1]. If you want a steady connector who can pressure the ball, make teammates better, and compete hard, he is more of a glue-piece fit than a primary scoring engine[1].
