Ish Smith — remember that name? Smith started neither of the past two seasons with the Philadelphia 76ers, but closed each season with the team. When the team was in dire need of a point guard that could score and pass at a decent rate, Smith was always the go-to guy, with the Sixers trading for him in two consecutive years due to needs in the backcourt.
With the team having decent options in Sergio Rodriguez and Jerryd Bayless when he returns from injury this season, it’s not likely that Smith ends up being a Sixer for any parts of this year, but I also predicted that last year, so who knows?
