Players taken after Smart -- Jokic, Capela, HOOD, Harris, Nurkic, Lavine, Saric Randle. I wanted Hood at 16. Easy to tell he was going to a good not amazing pro.
But we overrate Smart. I know we all love him & his mindset & whatnot, but compared to other ppl, he really isn't anything special. More of our binky than a great NBA player.
This is my point. I'm very underwhelmed with Smart's useful albeit limited play so far. What I don't understand is what Julius Randle has to do with all these intriguing young basketball players.
