veteran frontcourt size with a true grind-it-out edge
Stephon Smith is a 6-foot-8, 260-pound forward whose game has long been defined by physicality, rebounding, and interior toughness, giving San Jose State a bruising presence up front. In the 2023-24 season at Mississippi Valley State, he appeared in 7 games and averaged 1.0 point and 1.3 rebounds in 4.3 minutes per game, a small sample but one that reinforces his role as a depth big rather than a high-usage scorer. Earlier roster records show him at San Jose State in the 2012-13 season, so the big question is fit: if a team needs muscle, experience, and low-ego minutes, he can be useful; if it needs spacing or shot creation, this is not that guy.
