Kenyatta Smith’s Shot-Blocking Legacy Still Pops
Kenyatta Smith was a high-motor Harvard center who made his name as an interior anchor: in the 2012-13 season, he led Harvard and ranked second in the Ivy League with 2.1 blocks per game, while also flashing efficient scoring and rebounding as a rugged post presence.[1][3][9] Ranked as a top center recruit coming out of high school, he developed into a defensive difference-maker with legit rim protection and enough touch to punish smaller fronts, which is exactly the kind of low-drama, high-value big who can tilt a game without needing touches.[3][15]
