Smith is on a 2-way contract, where he can play in the G-League for the Delaware Blue Coats and for the 76ers in the NBA. Thus far, Smith has played 5 games in the NBA for Philly in his first professional season, averaging 4.7 points in 5.5 minutes per game, shooting 45% from the field, and 50% from three. In the G-League, Smith is averaging 21.4 points through 21 games (0 starts), shooting 35.7% from three.
What kind of math are you using? In order to average 4.7 points in 5 games, he would have need to score 23.5 points. Not possible. Maybe 4.6. But who real cares.
