BIG3 Week 2: The Fight Recap, ISO Joe’s BIG Return, & What’s Next…

Josh Smith

We still have no idea how Josh Smith will perform in the BIG3.

A lot of speculation has emerged that Josh Smith needs to rely on athleticism, therefore he won’t be as effective in the BIG3 as he was in the NBA because there’s no scoring opportunities on transition offense.

While we aren’t buying that hot take just yet, we are sure that he’ll keep his hands to himself this week after being ejected the first game of the season, so we’ll finally see what he can do.

Our guess is that Josh Smith is going to look to score right off the bat, and never let up. His name has been thrown in the hat with the other top dogs in the league, so we expect him to come out with a little chip on his shoulder this week and prove himself.

Josh might have his hands full this Sunday against the Ghost Ballers if he faces Carlos Boozer. But, we believe Jamario Moon will guard Josh Smith; a much leaner and lighter defender that Josh can get by easier than Carlos.

To watch the BIG3 live this weekend, tune into CBS as well as the CBS Sports Network on Saturday (6/28 Noon Est) and Sunday (6/29 5:00 Est)
