Clearly he's struggling on the offense, and that was his weakness coming out of college.
One parallel as food for thought...Jason Kidd. He not only didn't hit 40% his rookie year, but neither in year 2 or 3. And while he never became a great shooter, he became a good offensive player...and had plenty else to offer....and was a 10 time all-star. Not saying Smart will follow the same path, but rookie struggles are not often a predictor of the future.
