I would want to see Smith on the court, in the locker room and know what he would play for before I start shipping out bigs. But we have till February.
He's certainly better than Jones. And has historically been better than DMo's been this year. We'll have to wait and see what kind of effort he gives on a good team, but ummm... yeah, he's probably better than either of those guys on D.
I agree, Smith will fit in with the starters better because Harden should hopefully curb a lot of his bad shot selections. I'm personally okay with Smith taking a couple of 3s. (albeit open ones).. However, I hope I never see a box score with an Ariza-style 11 3-point attempts from him haha.
