Smith had some of the most impressive shooting percentages in the state last season, but to make it even more impressive, she did the same thing as a sophomore. She has deep range on her outside shot, but she is also a tough finisher around the basket. She has strong handles and makes great passes as well.
2022-23 Season Stats: 19.7 PPG, 2.5 RPG, 53.2% FG (overall), 50% 3pt FG, 87.3% FT
