Semi LOCKED DOWN Dennis Smith Jr early in the 1st quarter at the top of the key in an isolation play. His ability to shut done such an explosive player without help is really exciting. I hate comparing to stars, but his 3&D ability reminds me a lot of Draymond Green. He'll probably never have the handles and passing that Dray has, but as a 3&D guy I don't think it's unrealistic to think he could match him in those two areas. Very exciting!
I think we would all be excited (and shocked!) if, at some point in his career, Semi wins DPOY. It's always a bit unfair to compare these late round 6'7"-6'8" dudes to one of the most successful 2nd round picks in history.
If he can be a serviceable off the bench 3 and D role player, then that will be great for him.
