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.

This has nothing to do with his accolades. He was the best player in a conference that sent 4 teams to the Dance. He was voted the best freshman in the country, better than McClemore, Bennett, Muhammed etc.

Great. a 43% shooter destroys a 40% shooter. Smart averages the same amount of points, more steals, blocks, rebounds, assists, and a better FT % than Rivers did. Since you want to compare players and all...

Right. 4 APG. The same amount guys like Westbrook, Irving, Rondo, Rose, Holliday averaged in college. I didn't think I would have to explain to you that it's a different game in college compared to the NBA.

I guess you think Anthony Bennett and Trey Burke will be busts too considering their shitty performances tonight.

Ah yes, you wouldn't complain if we got the next Desmond Mason
