Deville Smith’s all-around 2014-15 surge gave UT Martin a true two-way engine
In the 2014-15 season, Deville Smith was UT Martin’s stabilizer and shot-creator, finishing with 13.8 points and 4.5 assists per game while logging 35.9 minutes a night and ranking among the Ohio Valley Conference leaders in assists, assist-to-turnover ratio, steals, and blocked shots. His calling card was all-phase impact: he could score, distribute, defend, and even erase mistakes at the rim, highlighted by a 26-point, 7-assist, 6-rebound, 5-block, 3-steal game. If you want a tough, experienced guard who raises the floor and brings stat-sheet chaos, he fits beautifully.
