The Ish Smith Story

The Process introduced the league to many players who were given an opportunity to play and fight for a contract. Sixers fans were exposed to the the smiles of Jakarr Sampson, the thunderous blocks and dunks of Jerami Grant, the acrobatics of K.J. McDaniels, and the elite three-point shooting of Hollis Thompson, just to name a few. However, the tank era of the Philadelphia 76ers also granted an abundance of playing time to nomad players struggling to find a home. While Ish Smith was in no way new to the league when he joined the Sixers for the first time in 2015, the journeyman was given a great opportunity to be a starting point guard in the NBA.
