JaQuan Smith brings size, shot-blocking pedigree, and old-school physicality to SFA
JaQuan Smith is a 6-foot-9, 250-pound forward whose calling card has always been rim protection, rebounding, and physical play; at Northern Oklahoma College, he averaged 6.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 3.0 blocks per game, and he was described by SFA’s coach as a long, physical athlete who adds a big shot-blocking presence. In his limited 2015-16 SFA role, he averaged 1.1 points and 0.9 rebounds in 17 games, so the fit hinges on defense, toughness, and energy rather than scoring polish. If you want a frontcourt bruiser who changes shots and brings edge, he’s your guy.
