Fantasy Impact

Surprisingly, Smith ranked 15th in assists per game in the Bubble at 6.1, ahead of several other starting point guards such as Kyle Lowry, Mike Conley, and Jamal Murray. More impressively, Smith only received one start in eight games in Orlando, and still performed well - to the tune of 14.1 points, 6.1 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 0.9 steals, and 0.8 blocks in 27.2 minutes per game. Smith continued to struggle from the field (42.6%) but certainly did enough to earn the backup point guard role with the Wizards next season.
