He's playing more under control this year now that he isn't being asked to make up for the losses of Kyrie and Hayward.

Far better offensively than Jaylen or Rozier this season, IMO. Those guys make so many boneheaded plays, it's incredible.

I mean, those guys have a negative IQ as far as I'm concerned. Smart knows what to do he just can't execute at a high level.

Horford really took advantage of that mismatch by going for a fade away mid-range shot. :noway: Just awful.

He is a pain against every team. I remember how much he frustrated the Lakers players in 2011 when the Mavs swept them. Baynum actually tried to kill him.

One of the premier backup pgs in the league imo.

Definitely.
Well seasoned.

I think our next center needs to be someone to smack a b. we got a lot of nice guys starting. need a guy who will lay the wood while the other 4 do their thing (when we get it together with hayward).

Smart always seems to shot well in OKC and Dallas.

It is a concern he is in this form early this season. He usually plays like this towards the end of January but not this early.

Rozier suffers from the irrational confidence that Smart used to have. Catch and shoot open 3s? Cool, but the guys kills waaaaay too much clock, and too many possessions, calling his own number with that little jitterbug dribble to nowhere. It's like Tatum or Morris if they couldn't hit shots.

Not only is Smart playing better than Brown, he is actually shooting better too!

Brown is shooting 46% (2s) / 25% (3s) / 60% (fts)

Smart is shooting 47% / 27% / 73%
