Isiah Small refuses to be overlooked

Isiah Small doesn’t need to do much to stand out.

The Texas State senior forward is listed at 6-foot-8 and 170 pounds. He's got arms longer than the San Marcos River, which he uses to swallow up shots and passes. His 7-foot-2 wingspan racked up 52 blocks and steals combined this season. No other Bobcat cracked 40.

But Small operates on a staccato rhythm. Everything he does is intentionally out of the ordinary.   He flows up and down the court to the beat of his own drum and it usually puts in the right spot at the right time. It’s a dance only he knows the steps to, although he’ll occasionally clue you in on which part he’s at — his shots from behind the arc are usually punctuated with a bow or a shoulder shimmy.
