Rashad Smith brings two-way grit and efficient shot-making to Idaho
Rashad Smith’s best fit is a coach who wants a reliable wing/guard who defends, rebounds, and can heat up without forcing the issue. In the 2021-22 season at Idaho, he averaged 10.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and shot 43.9% from three, then in 2022-23 he posted 4.8 points per game, led the Vandals with 27 steals, and ranked third on the team with 90 rebounds while starting 18 of 31 games. His value is the sneaky stuff: toughness, defensive activity, and timely scoring—basically the kind of player who makes the floor feel less chaotic.
