Saric already better than Smart and has a higher ceiling. What pick was he by Philly?

No, he isn't. He's having a hot game, but Smart is far superior on D, and they're both below average on O.



Smart is a terrible shooter for a guard has he even averaged double digit in points yet? His 3rd season and he hasn't improved his shot at all. Nice defensive player sure and hustles but you need more than that from the 6th overall pick.
He was #12 overall

I think for this system Saric is a better fit. Call me crazy, but it's true

Another over reaction to a player who has a good game against us but is having a below average season.

I said that during the draft too so don't know why that would be an overreaction. Wait he's having a worse shooting year than Smart. He's a better shooter than Smart as a big man. Embarrassing.

Anyone still think the Sixers suck? They almost beat us without Embiid, Simmons and Noel tonight. With Embiid and Simmons they would have crushed us.

They do this year they are like 4 for 16. Yeah that sucks.

I'll take it...

I always said when I left the Celtics, I could not go to heaven, because that would
 be a step down. I am pure 100 percent Celtic. I think if you slashed my wrists, my
 blood would’ve been green.  -  Bill "Greatest of All Time" Russell

That's not how it works. We clearly played down to the competition. Would've been a totally different game with them in there, and we might've blown them out. That's just how these things work out, especially with two teams that are so far apart in skill and how good they are.

This is his first season n the NBA right? You don't see his skills for a player his size?

He's played professionally for years over in Europe... He's not getting any better - this is what you get with him.

What?!?? How does this make sense? So European players don't improve?

He's 22 in his first year in the NBA. He definitely is going to get better. The only question is how much.

Isn't Smart younger and he too will get better?

He's like a worse shooting version of Mirotic
He's actually shooting way better than Mirotic from the 3 point line at 36.7% to Mirotic's 28%. He's almost as good as shooter as Kelly Olynyk and a better rebounder.

While being garbage the entire game. I mean who needs 37 points right? Let's just trade talent. It's overrated. We need more grit and role players on this team
