Overall, Ish Smith has done incredible for the Sixers in his first 10 games with them, just like he had been doing for the New Orleans Pelicans earlier this season. The Sixers got a huge steal, since the Pelicans had some players returning from injury, they were unable to use Smith as much and the Sixers got a good deal.

Smith picked his season up right where he left it, and led the Sixers to a win in his first game on the roster. Smith is a full package point guard that has improved the Sixers’ stock immensely.

ISH SMITH. A-. Ish Smith has done more than expected since coming on as point guard of the Philadelphia 76ers. Although the guard situation has been crazy to say the least for Philly this year, Smith now appears to be a consistent player that can set teammates up with good looks and help improve everyone offensively. While we have yet to see many of these young players take off as shooters, perhaps with continued good looks from Ish, they can do just that. Ish would have gotten a perfect A, but he hasn’t been all perfect. He has led the team to just three wins, which for the Sixers, is outstanding, but it’s nothing that’s convincing many that the Sixers aren’t the worst team in the league, even if they aren’t the most dysfunctional (I’m looking at you, Brooklyn Nets). I can’t wait to reevaluate Ish a while down the road, because it looks like things can only get better for the point guard.. PG. Philadlephia 76ers

It’s only been 10 games, but it’s clear that Ish Smith is a name that changes the Sixers’ look completely.
