[Can you name me one stat or measurement about Marcus Smart that tells me that he will be anything more than an average NBA role player? He's only above average defensively. Of course to this you will say, "He's a rookie?", but to you I ask have you ever seen a starting NBA point guard without the ability to run an offense and for that matter not be able to handle a basketball adequately? I would say no to that. I'm not sure if you've even watched Marcus Smart if you believe that he will be a superstar or even a star for that matter. Or at least you have not been watching objectively.
Out of all guards, Marcus Smart tied for 2nd most offensive fouls drawn.
If he never improves, he will be an average NBA role player. I don't think it is irresponsible to expect moderate improvement.
