Chris Smith
A six-foot-nine forward, Smith has played the previous three seasons in the NBA G League.
Smith played four collegiate seasons with the UCLA Bruins, averaging 8.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 20.8 minutes per game and leading his team to two March Madness appearances.
During his final season with UCLA, Smith suffered a season-ending injury after only eight games, leading him to not being selected in the 2021 NBA Draft. Smith was added to the Detroit Pistons' 2021 NBA Summer League roster before signing a two-way contract with the NBA organization.
Smith played the 2021-22 NBA G League season with the Piston’s Motor City Cruise affiliate, averaging 8.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.0 assist and 22.5 minutes per game. The American player played the following two seasons in the NBA G League with the Salt Lake City Stars (2022-23), the Grand Rapids Gold (2023-24) and the Iowa Wolves (2023-24).
"Chris' impressive background and experience at the highest levels of basketball speak volumes about his talent and potential. We believe he will make an immediate impact and will flourish in our organization."
- Joel Anthony, Alliance GM
