I just think find it amusing that when a player does well in SL that's when people say "it's just SL" but when some aspects of their game look weak all of a sudden they're busts or won't be as good as other players, etc.
This is how I feel on the whole Smart vs Exum debate. We don't know whose going to be better and it's foolish to be upset about the coin toss at present especially over SL. We may not know for years. Smart showed a ton of potential in our SL games. Defense, passing instincts, leadership, got himself to the line, etc. His only negative was his shot which can definitely improve.
Exum has shown potential as well (though I've seen less of him so far).
Why are we arguing over this?...
