God no. Not this year.
Does anyone really think that any starter in this league really worries about playing against Marcus Smart?
I'd agree - not this year.
But no veteran "worries" about playing against a rookie, regardless of the rookie's reputation on defense. Back in 2012, I really doubt the Zach Randolphs and Lamarcus Aldridges of the league saw the name 'Anthony Davis' as their opposition and thought "I've got my hands full tonight".
