Jaleen Smith brings veteran guard polish, scoring pop, and elite durability for New Hampshire
In the 2016-17 season, Jaleen Smith was a do-everything UNH guard: he started all 32 games, played 36.2 minutes per night, scored 15.8 points per game, and led the team with 137 assists, a combo that screams trust and toughness. He also showed real two-way utility with 6.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 0.9 steals per game, while handling huge usage without shrinking late. The big differentiator: dependable, high-minute production from a guard who can create, organize, and hold up under heavy workload—exactly the kind of steady engine coaches love.
