He looks more like himself from the first year, where didn't have to play alongside Westbrook.

Re: All things Ish Smith.
Can we just get an appreciation up on here of his handles? Good God. He busted a move on the Pistons the other night, and it was as if he was playing with string. Other than Chris Paul, who has handles like this? I’d put Lamelo right there, but who else? Anyone?
He’s also just a helluva nice guy. One of the best who’s come through here. Carries himself beautifully, speaks thoughtfully and with respect for teammates and the game. I love him. How can you not?

Are you forgetting the player with the best handles in the game—maybe the best handles ever—Kyrie Irving. Steph Curry has some great handles as well.
But glad to have Ish back. His handles and quickness are indeed an asset.

Re: All things Ish Smith.
You bet -- & above all, the guy just seems like a quality human being.
A lot more likable than Kyrie Irving, that's for sure!! My 2 cents anyway...

Re: All things Ish Smith.
Scott Brooks has made man decent back up PG and fringe starters look like trash because he wants to play them in 3 guard line ups that he shouldn't be playing them in. Ish is not a bad player never was, but Scott Brooks made him look way worse that he is.
