Early Projection: Josh Smith

[RTM]

I feel like you know exactly what you're getting with Smith. 16-17 points, 7-8 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks, a steal, very good defense, great play at the rim, and some infuriating jumpers.

The keys in the front court are going to be (1) how Drummond has developed and (2) whether Monroe can find his offensive comfort zone at PF.

Jennings seems like a much bigger enigma/x-factor.

Awesome compilation of Smith's defense against the league's premier scoring forwards, as well as Kobe too.

There was a great article written today about his defense too:
