Oh, and he and Jabari Parker have to be the early favorites for rookie of the year. They should finish one, two, not sure what order.
I don't think Smart will get the playing time to be among the top rookies in PPG. ROY tends to go to the rookie who scores the most.
He will if we move Rondo. I really thought tonight would have answered that.....maybe it did.
Playing time goes to teams that are bad (us) who can give their guys the most minutes (us) that don't have significantly other scoring options (us).
He will not play point. He will only run the point when Rondo is off the floor. He will play scoring guard.Unless Danny makes moves, who else is going to score on this team, Jeff Green, and who? Rondo isn't a big scorer. Olynyk and Sullinger are complimentary scorers, secondary at best, who else is there?
