Smith and bright spot do not belong in the same sentence. He got lost on D all the time and flat out got beat a ton. He can’t finish. He’s lazy. The list is long with no bright spots to be found.Come
While Smith was unacceptably allowed to regularly jog down the floor and was quite often an absolute train wreck on offense, he was by far the best defensive player on the team not named Phinisee.
