Wizards fans have seen plenty of Ish Smith. Over the course of his career, Smith has played against Washington 24 times — tied for the second-most games he’s played against any NBA team. Still though, it came as somewhat of a surprise when Washington traded away Tomas Satoransky and instead inked the diminutive guard to bolster the point in John Wall’s absence.
With Isaiah Thomas now out for most of training camp and perhaps the start of the year, even more weight falls on Smith to prop up Washington’s guard rotation.
