Besides Smart's defense, I have not read a single statement in this thread that gives any tangible evidence for why Smart will be a good player. Instead, I see that he is young (a non positive statement if there ever was one), he hit the wall (another non-compliment), he's experimenting with his game (huh?), he's taken shots at the end of the clock (you're the ****' PG, get the team better shots then), his ankle injury is bothering him (really?), and on and on.
On the downside, we know he's slow (lose weight?), he can't finish, he need's to work on his handle (sorry, the good ones have this from day 1), his shot is inconsistent (he can work to get better but likely will never be great or very good), and he isn't a natural PG (again, day 1).
So seems to me most of hoping in one hand and Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ting in the other. Let's see which one fills up first.
