In a season of many lows, Dorian Finney-Smith was a surprising high. Undrafted out of the University of Florida, Finney-Smith had an uphill climb seeing any playing time last year. But as injuries mounted and incumbents struggled, the 6’8’’ forward found playing time in the sixth game of the season after playing a combined four minutes and seventeen seconds in the first five games.
Going into the November 6 game versus the Milwaukee Bucks, it wouldn’t have been crazy to think a young small forward would leave his imprint all over the game as the key to his team’s victory.
