A veteran Rice guard who brings playmaking, shooting touch, and sneaky disruption
Rashid Smith’s most notable impact came in the 2001-02 through 2003-04 seasons, when he showed steady guard play, improved scoring efficiency, and real two-way value at Rice; in the 2001-02 season he averaged 5.9 points, 4.8 assists, 1.9 steals, and shot 46.7% from three, which screams floor general with bite. He stands out for creating for others, hitting shots, and generating steals without needing the offense to be built around him. Rice’s own 2000 signing note described him as a guard with athleticism, game feel, and a knack for making teammates better — exactly the kind of connector many teams love.
