Stefan Smith ain't no stranger to the court! With an impressive international resume, he's represented Canada at the U17 World Championship in Zaragoza, Spain. Straight outta high school, the bloke's played professionally in Canada (CEBL) and Serbia (Kolubara). In '23, he helped his CEBL team win the Western Conference Regular Season title before makin' the switch to Ludwigsburg.
Smith's contribution to Ludwigsburg's squad during the 2024-2025 season was substantial. He appeared in 16 FIBA Europe Cup games, helpin' his team storm into the semifinals. Although stats for the Basketball-Bundesliga regular season are scarce, Smith made it clear he's a force to be reckoned with on the hardwood.

In conclusion, Stefan Smith's addition to the MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg roster is an exciting development for the Basketball-Bundesliga and sport enthusiasts alike.
