Wow, obviously a small sample size but that’s impressive.
PnRPOY
Credit where credit is due. He’s played much better recently
i said for years that smart is the only guy on the team who can run a decent PnR which was a huge problem for this team. not the case anymore with tatum’s development, brogdon, and white to an extent. but we relied so much on tatum/brown/kemba/kyrie isolation ball year after year, and i never understood how these talented nba players could not run a simple pick and roll
anyway, marcus is the man.
He is one of the best point guards in the league
Except for a couple bonehead things against the cavs he’s been awesome
Marcus Smart is a point guard.
A damn fine one, too.
26 possessions is nothing but it’s promising, our offense has been humming so far
