Pick a game and just count how many extra possessions Smart creates. You could make a drinking game out of it. Steals, taking charges, deflections, perfect rotations, excellent iso defense, diving on the floor, boxing out like a power forward, setting great picks, closing out on shooters, challenging shots at the rim, QB'ing the defense. I could go on. 90% of his production doesn't show up in any box score. He's really a phenom, given that he can't shoot. It's hard to overstate his impact and it's not lost on Stevens.
Now do some math. If he wins 12 extra possessions, who cares if he shot 1-6?
