One of the last times Josh Smith played professional basketball, it was in a Sichuan Blue Whales jersey. A pretty fantastically named basketball organization but not where J-Smoov wanted to be.
One of the last times Darius Miller played professional basketball, it was in Europe where he played for Brose Bamberg.
Two players forced to take their immense talents outside of the U.S. because they weren’t quite good enough. Now, both are back and fighting for the same exact position. Miller has been slotted as a “stretch four” although he hasn’t elongated the court much.
Smith, although being a terrible three-point shooter, is also playing his minutes at the four position.
