Kara Smith brings instant backcourt steadiness to Howard
In the 2025-26 season, Howard guard Kara Smith is a low-usage, role-stabilizing backcourt piece, averaging 2.1 points per game with 0.3 assists in limited action, so the box score won’t wow you—but her value is in keeping the offense organized and the rotation steady. She’s the kind of guard who fits best with a team that needs composure, spacing, and a no-drama connector rather than a high-usage shot creator.
