Josh Smith — One of the Most Underrated Two-Way Forwards of His Era
At his peak, Josh Smith was an absolute force — a freak athlete who could defend all over the floor, swat shots into the stands, and throw down jaw-dropping dunks in transition.
He averaged 18.8 PPG, 9.6 RPG, 3.5 APG, 2.1 BPG, and 1.3 SPG in his best season — doing a bit of everything for the Atlanta Hawks. He was a rare blend of size, speed, and defensive instincts, earning All-Defensive honors and becoming one of the youngest players ever to hit 1,000 career blocks.
In today’s game, with better spacing and shooting development, he might’ve been even more dominant.
