Mike Smith brings scoring touch and local-star pedigree to UIC
In the 2002 season, UIC guard Mike Smith arrived as a Chicago-area standout who averaged 15.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game in high school while shooting 51% from the field and 44% from three, so the appeal is clear: efficient scoring, perimeter range, and competitive toughness[1]. His back-to-back MVPs at the Rich South Big Dipper Christmas Tournament hint at a clutch, high-motor guard who plays with confidence under pressure[1].
