Combing through the NBA's matchup stats and I have Marcus Smart defending centers for 133 possessions this season, on which he has surrendered a total of...

...9 points.

Pepperridge Farm remembers when people here wanted to trade Smart, two years ago.....

Smart is an amazing player. I hope he doesn't get shipped out for Anthony Davis just for a salary match. It would be a waste....

I'm going to be honest, but if we trade Smart, and Tatum, I will be super p---ed. And if that was the case, I would say no to Davis.

Smartie is different. He´s a ferocious bulldog on the court.

Just put him on Embiid, then, and we crush Philly.  :o

It's nothing to sneeze at, but I wonder who these centers he's defended are?

Are we talking about the stiffs of the league, or actual offensive threats?

Was that 133 possessions with the play going through the center?   Or just 133 plays overall where Smart happened to be defending the center?   Is that 9 points surrendered as scored by the center while defended by Smart?   Or 9 points scored by the team while the center was defended by Smart?

No clue, he doesn't mention anymore than this.

This includes holding All-Star centers Anthony Davis, Karl-Anthony Towns, Nikola Vucevic, LaMarcus Aldridge and Nikola Jokic scoreless on a combined 22 possessions. (Embiid has scored two points on four possessions guarded by Smart)
