D’Anthony Smith Leads the Field in Scoring With Two POG Honors

D’Anthony Smith of TTG closed the tournament as its top scorer and the only player to earn Player of the Game in both of his appearances. That combination, the field's highest scoring average paired with back-to-back coach recognition, makes the case before the box score even fills in.

Over 2 games, Smith averaged 4.0 points and finished with 8 total, hitting 1 three along the way. He led GOD FAMILY FAITH in scoring throughout, and the team's run ended short of the final.

The signature performances came in his two outings. Against HUSTLE ELITE, Smith put up 5 points and was named Player of the Game. Against GSA TEAM FLIGHT, he scored 3 points, knocked down his lone three, and again walked off with Player of the Game honors. Two games, two POG nods.

The why-them is in the ranking. Smith finished first in the field in scoring. He led his own team. And he collected Player of the Game in each game he played, an MVP run built on a tournament-high average and recognition in every appearance.

GOD FAMILY FAITH did not reach the final, so the title is not part of this story. What is left is the individual line, and it stands on its own: the best scoring mark in the tournament, the team's leading scorer, and a perfect mark on Player of the Game honors. Smith did not need the trophy to author the most complete individual tournament in the division.
