Javonte problem spot. Need better leadership, defense, and decision making at the 1.


Are we still going with this narrative? The kid had TWO horrible turnover games at the very beginning of the season (literally games 2 and 3) and a chunk of the fanbase NEVER let him live it down the rest of the season. That, despite the fact he had the best Asst/TO of all PG's in SEC play. And, he was the primary PG on a team that finished with the 4th most efficient offense in the NATION. His only "sin" is that he didn't make the highlight plays that Waters did. But from an overall offensive perspective LSU didn't suffer, AT ALL (over the course of the season), without Waters.

Defensively he didn't match Waters's steal numbers, but he was FAR from the only guy on last year's team that didn't defend. Almost NO ONE on last year's team played defense. You don't get to be as terrible as LSU was on defense by just one guy playing poorly.

Smart is fine. And there is no one better on the team at creating out of nothing and making a tough shot than Smart.

It is comical how our fan base seems to consistently do this in basketball. It's the same thing that happened with Mays in his sophomore and junior years regarding his ability to finish at the rim and turnovers. He had a bad stretch early in the season or at the beginning of SEC and people latched on to it despite his continued improvement and final stats being great. Similar thing was done with respect to Naz last season.

What's the difference between "literally games 2 and 3" and "games 2 and 3"?

It's bizarre how undervalued Smart is on this board. If he doesn't come back we are going to have a massive hole to fill at PG.
