Kerwin Smith brings old-school rim protection and reliable board work to ORU
In the 2018-19 season, Kerwin Smith was a low-usage, high-value big for Oral Roberts, starting all 32 games and averaging 4.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 0.7 blocks while ranking among the Summit League’s better offensive rebounders and providing steady interior defense. The standout trait is his feel for anchoring the middle: ORU’s staff praised his experience, winning pedigree, and elite block-rate profile, plus he consistently impacted games even without needing touches. If a team wants a physical, mature frontcourt piece who does the dirty work and protects the paint, Smith fits the bill.
