re: Do not want Marcus Smart

He was national freshman of the year and big 12 player of the year

Guys like Durant and Beasely got the same accolades.

Damian Lillards percentages are terrible and he will win ROY. And he's like 23.

There's more to the game than percentages mktinsh

That's all true, but Lillard, Durant, and Beasley never shot lower than 43% in college. Durant and Beasley only played freshman years. Smart is at 40%. FG% tends to go down from college to the NBA.

Even Rivers destroyed Smart's FG%, and that's clearly a weakness for him at the next level.

Smart is impressive physically at the college level...not so much for the NBA, imo.

He has low assists, and while this is just one game, it is THE game for his college career, and I would have liked to see more...especially from a guy that has been touted as the ultra competitor.

If the Pelicans want perimeter D, give me Oladipo all day over Smart.
