low-usage LMU guard with a clean floor-and-hustle profile
In the 2025-26 season, Loyola Marymount guard Cooper Smith was a freshman role player who appeared in three games, shot 2-for-2 from the free-throw line, and chipped in a steal and a block—small sample, but a tidy start for a 6'2" guard built on effort and versatility.[2][3] His current value looks less about volume and more about being dependable, active defensively, and low-maintenance in a rotation; if a team wants a gritty connector who won’t need the ball to make an impact, Smith has the right kind of profile.[2][3]
