Yeah where is that famous Avery Bradley defense?
Marcus Smart was guarding Jack for a good part of the game.
I was going to make a more generalized post about the time it takes PG's to adjust to the NBA game. I didn't because I've gotten negged here a lot recently.
But if I had, the question would've come from watching Jack tear it up today. Smart guarded him the majority of the game, not Bradley. And while I've always loved Jack, and he took every opportunity he saw and played well in general, I think it showed how far away Smart is from being that guy.
Will give Smart credit with some nice plays on the ball, including that steal and long assist. He anticipates well. But 1 on 1 with a vet player (above avg vet player, I'd say), he was badly exposed. Gonna take some time...
