I was super intrigued to see how Smart would look starting in place of Kemba, because theoretically, the trio of the Jays/GH should've been enough offense to supplant the lineup, and inserting Smart would've led our defense becoming lethal. I also believed it was a nice mix of defense and offense. But....
Then I saw that Smart shot and bricked like 14 shots a game.
That was enough for me. 3 games was way too many. I cannot wait until Kemba comes back, goes ape !@#$, sprays like three three's to ice the game out... I don't get why Smart feels compelled to shoot so many shots... It's almost annoying.
Seems like our fellow friend LarBrd33 also felt the same way on Reddit lol.

But then I saw Smart bricking 14 shots a night.
Three games was enough. I'm ready for Kemba to come back.
