Are teams really that interested in having a guy play a lot of minutes with so little contribution on the offensive end? Even on the defensive end, it's not like teams can just put him on the other team's best player and shut him down because teams can switch them off anyway.
Marcus Smart, in my opinion, has one truly elite skill. The guy really has an unbelievable ability to come up with big, clutch defensive plays in important moments. If there was a time when I absolutely needed to get a steal, or take a charge - Marcus Smart is the guy I want on the court. He's amazing at that. The problem is, the rest of the game, I just don't think he contributes that much and as much as he contributes, he probably takes away. I will give him credit that he is taking about 1 less 3-pointer per game this season than last, and almost 2 less 3 pointers per game than two seasons ago. On the other hand, he's shooting the 3 at less than 30% this year - so thank goodness he's not putting up 6 1/2 3PAs this season.
