Braeden Smith

ANALYSIS
Smith started the first four games of the season for Gonzaga, and while there were bright spots -- such nine assists against Arizona State on Nov. 14 -- he never offered much from a scoring standpoint. Through those four starts, he averaged just 3.0 ppg on 31.3 percent shooting, and was dreadful from distance, going 1-for-9. Freshman Mario Saint-Supery took over in the starting five Nov. 17 against Southern Utah, where he racked up 16 points, seven assists and six steals. The competition was much tougher for Saint-Supery Monday against Alabama, but he managed 10 points, six assists and five rebounds. Meanwhile, Smith was held scoreless in just eight minutes off the bench. Smith was a double-digit scorer both seasons at Colgate, but it appears he'll be relegated to a depth role now that he's with what appears to be a top-10 program nationally.
