So your actual, sincere assessment is that Smart is roughly the 9th most impactful defender on the Celtics, behind Jabari Parker and Luke Kornet and Juancho Hernangomez?

ballsy to ask others if they are sincere in their posting after that OP you just put up.

It's just not something you can say about the other premier names. If Draymond played more minutes and games it would probably still be him, but he missed too much time. Gobert, Giannis, Bam are all good names to mention.

I can keep going but you get the point. Advanced stats are going to favor bigs who are elite rim protectors. But the argument for Smart is simply... no one can score on the man.

He rests when the guys he are guarding rest, like Doncic, Curry and Tatum for example. Now guys like that will always put up numbers, but he does better than anyone else against the other team's best guard or wing. When backups come in for top tier or MVP caliber players, obviously the other team's offense will probably look worse regardless.

And Jokic is in the top two of such stats like defensive box, raptor, ect…..Bridges, who everyone loves, is 77th in Raptor. Its just another stat thats weighted to big men and influenced by teammates. Do you even know the formula for DRAPM? There’s a reason Smart gets so much praise from opposing players/coaches….

Then if you cant guarding the paint, you shouldn't be DPOY either.
You think smart or bridges can't guard his man in the paint?
They cant guard a centre in the paint no. Just like Gobert cant keep up with guards on the outside.
