Players Top 50: #23 Brad Smith
Brad Smith is the party starter for the Whipsnakes offense. His two-way goes at the top of the arc force the defenses to rotate, leading to fruitful redodges on the weak side.
Smith dished 49 assist opportunities (i.e. a pass that leads to a shot), tied with Jeff Teat for fourth in the PLL. He took his off-ball game to the next level in his second season as a pro -- cutting into open space and burying 9-of-28 (32.1%) catch-n-shoot chances.
