Low-turnover rebounder with a little stretch shooting

HoldThis week

Through eight 2026‑27 games he ranks as a ninth-round value, but 2025‑26 finished outside the top 156, so treat this as roster depth rather than a breakout. The finger issue cleared, and he fits punt-steals builds best.

Smith (finger) is available for Sunday's game versus Philadelphia.
The finger injury isn't new, so barring a setback, Smith was expected to suit up all along. The 26-year-old has averaged 11.0 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 22.5 minutes per contest in eight regular-season appearances in 2026-27. While Smith has had one of the best seasons of his career, the return of Nic Claxton (hamstring) will likely result in a decline in production moving ahead, especially once the latter is cleared for a full workload.

Smith (finger) is probable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.
Smith left Wednesday's 135-105 loss to the Knicks after just seven minutes of play due to a left finger sprain and was initially deemed questionable for Sunday. His upgraded status is a good sign for Smith, who's been the starting center with Nic Claxton (hamstring) yet to play this season.
4 d ago
Smith (hand) won't return to Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Smith has been starting for Nic Claxton (hamstring), who hasn't played this season. However, the Bulls will be down another big, at least for the remainder of Wednesday's contest. As a result, Zach Collins should handle most of the minutes in the middle the rest of the way.
4 d ago
Smith went back to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Knicks after suffering an apparent finger injury, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.
Smith appeared to hurt his finger contesting a shot from OG Anunoby, and for now, he should be considered questionable to return. If he needs to miss time, Zach Collins, Leonard Miller and Noa Essengue would help pick up the slack.
4 d ago
Smith is available for Wednesday's game against the Knicks despite a left finger sprain.
Smith will shed a probable tag for this contest. He's averaging 12.1 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game this season, and the bulk of the center minutes should remain in Smith's hands until Nic Claxton (hamstring) is cleared to make his season debut.
