Detroit Pistons 2017-18 Season Review: Ish Smith

Regarding the Detroit Pistons’ Ish Smith, if you’re listening to “Pistons twitter” they might tell you Ishmael Larry Smith isn’t good enough.

“Can’t shoot”

“The defense doesn’t even have to guard him on the perimeter”

These types of things. I read them all season. I suppose they might be true on some level.

While he might only have true shooting percentage of just over 52 percent and only shot threes at just under 35 percent in 2017, those are solid compared to his career numbers.

They are also good enough numbers to keep the defense honest.
