I'll propose an alternate set of comps, based purely on counting stats, 3 point shot frequency, and size / position, all rookie seasons:
- Mario Chalmers
- Ray Felton
- Brandon Jennings
- OJ Mayo
- Eric Gordon
Source hereSmart may be a better defender than all of those guys, so if he can stay healthy and develop his offensive game, he could be better than anybody on that list.
Still, it's hard to find an example of a rookie who didn't score very many points or get the line much, and who took a lot of outside shots, who ended up becoming a prolific, efficient, and versatile scorer.
Each of those guys has shown at some point the potential to be a very good scorer, however.
