Bleav in Wizards

Maryland basketball sophomore DeShawn Harris-Smith started 30 of 33 games as a freshman and averaged 7.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and .9 steals. He joined the Bleav in DMV Hoops podcast this week to talk about what didn't quite work for him individually and as a team last season, how Jahmir Young helped him transition into college basketball, and the relationship between he and Head Coach Kevin Willard. Harris-Smith also talks about what he's been working on this offseason, how his role may change as a sophomore, the vibes with this year's team, their improved depth, and what this team needs to do to be successful.
