veteran Mizzou forward with rebounding grit and defensive pop
Mitchell Smith is a long, experienced Missouri frontcourt piece whose value shows up in the dirty work: in the 2020-21 season, he averaged 4.5 points and 5.0 rebounds while shooting 41.8% from the field and 88.2% at the line, and Missouri noted he led the Tigers in rebounding with 146 boards in 2019-20. He’s the kind of forward who brings toughness, rim protection, and timely shooting flashes rather than headline volume, making him a fit for teams that want a physical, low-maintenance glue guy with a high motor.
