Mercer’s Travis Smith: veteran shot-maker with bench-spark pedigree
Travis Smith was a dependable Mercer guard whose best calling card was efficient perimeter scoring: in the 2011-12 season he averaged 8.8 points in 21.7 minutes, hit 42.9% from three, and was a key sixth-man weapon on Mercer’s CIT title run. He also brought toughness and poise—double-figure scoring 13 times, knocking down free throws at a strong clip, and peaking with 17 points in the championship game. If you need a guard who can space the floor, steady the offense, and add instant offense without needing touches, he fit the bill.
