Dennis Johnson is how he is now or how he will be later lol?
hes got way more upside than him too I believe
I really want to believe in Smart's work ethic and how he could little by little earn the respect of the league and get to the top as hes got the physicality to do it and the correct demeanor to make it there! Many great players were underrated such as Johnson and I think Smart kinda is hidden as well! I think through this series, all health being well, he can try to prove how as a rookie he can make a huge impact! I cant wait to see how he develops! Just a player that we can love watching him play and hope he can continue to prove us right and be with the Celtics for many years to come! (Hopefully with titles too ;P) His defense for a rookie though is unbelievable! His natural instincts are wild! XDD I am really glad we drafted him!
Hope we can side good players with him this offseason! Who do you guys think would fit with him best? Say that we only have Smart, lets think of the rest 14
@Maurice 98, James Young has a natural offensive skill. He has to polish it to make it efficient coz so far as what I have managed to see abit from him in the D-League, his competition there is low and hence he gets to score alot which doesnt mean anything I believe... I generally believe him to be a raw player...as you said he need definitely needs to bulk up! He might even grow abit seeing he is only 19 right? But yea, being in this wonderful squad we have assembled, with people like Crowder, Smart and others, he can be inspired to work as it seems the whole world has taken to notice that he is waaaaaay too relaxed for a player who entered the NBA! Hopefully he realizes this offseason and show us his work in the summer league! Smart's ceiling cannot be told at the moment XD We really should wait 2-3 years and then assume (As during all this time, hopefully he will be healthy and we can then give our ideas
) as for Young, I wish he could turn out to be a Harden or any offensive killer as this team is seriously lacking one of those guys (Thomas is a killer but Young could be a beast with the same skills as he is physically a more fit NBA basketball player) For now, Young is pretty meh...but lets hope he can at least be a sixth man of the year type of player who can drain it from anywhere and make plays!
