ULM’s high-octane guard with real two-way bite
Daishon Smith was a monster scorer and playmaker for ULM in the 2018-19 season, pairing elite shot-making with disruptive defense: he averaged 22.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.2 steals per game, while leading the Sun Belt in 3-pointers made, free-throw percentage and steals.[3][8][12] The big takeaway on Smith is that he’s not just a bucket—he brings pace, pressure and edge, and ULM has leaned on him as an engine, though a hamstring injury once cost him three games, so durability is part of the conversation.[6][7]
