Ish Smith embraces role heading into 2019-20 season

Over the summer, the Wizards signed point guard Ish Smith. Washington brought back the speedy Smith, who was with the team in training camp and the preseason in 2015, to give the team depth at point guard and to bring his veteran leadership and personality to the locker room.

Needless to say, the transition to the nation’s capital has been easier for Smith than it would be for most. Smith has played for 11 teams now, though he did spend the past three seasons in Detroit, starting 67 games. The 6’0” point guard jokes about all of the places he’s played, but it’s all been part of his NBA journey.
