dependable Clemson guard who did a little of everything
Tanner Smith was Clemson’s classic high-floor guard: a durable, multi-year contributor who filled the box score with scoring, playmaking, rebounding, and steals, finishing his Tigers career with 986 points, 459 rebounds, 320 assists, and 159 steals while helping Clemson reach three NCAA Tournaments. He was especially valuable for his versatility and reliability—reported as missing only six games in four seasons—and his senior-year production (11.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists per game) shows the kind of all-around, competitive backcourt piece that fits winning teams.
