Orlando Smith brings veteran efficiency and glass-cleaning to MVSU
Orlando Smith has been a dependable frontcourt presence for Mississippi Valley State, with the clearest recent stat marker showing he led the team in field-goal percentage at .515 in the 2010-11 season while also pacing the Delta Devils in offensive rebounds per game (2.1). His value is less about flashy scoring and more about efficient finishing, physicality, and doing the dirty work on the glass. That profile fits teams needing a tough, low-maintenance forward who can defend, rebound, and stay within himself—basically, the kind of player coaches trust when the game gets scrappy.
