Smart is improving his shooting percentages.  That's a good sign.  Still a lot of games to go, he just needs to get consistently good.  As long as he can space the floor, stay in that 36-40% 3 point rate, he will be a net positive for us considering his great defense.

Being far too unrealistic... 36-40% is slightly above average, and most shooters like Kyle Korver, Curry, Klay, Eric Gordon, maintain that 3pt percentage.... Not players like Marcus Smart.

Side note: Outside of Horford, Smart is far and away the best post defender on the Celtics.  Last night when he got caught on Davis in a switch, got into his legs to take away his leverage, played him 3/4, and then jumped the entry pass for the steal was a thing of beauty.
TP for a"thing of beauty" now that is a boston fan-a lover of defense
marcus does some amazing stuff for a 22year old-he was born to play defense
