This year? Smart. Next year? Brown.

Would be really really really close. Like down to last shot close.
2 (5.6%)
This poll must have some sort of agenda so I refuse to answer the simple question.

Brown, easily.
Wait. I thought Smart could defend vintage Michael Jordan and Larry Bird and Magic Johnson all at the same time. I mean have you seen him defend? Oh my God. Marcus Smart can defend.
Wow, this poll was a good idea but you clearly have an agenda. Be so passive aggressive dude..
It's well known I'm no longer an optimist or believer in the legend of Marcus Smart. I'm in show me mode with him now. Jaylen is showing me.
That's fine. It's just I saw this and thought, "actually that's a really interesting topic", then I read the first response underneath and it kinda sucks the fun out of it.

I like both guys. Brown will get to the rim in the NBA, I think what we are seeing in summer league is for real. I'm excited for that. For me Smart wins because of his defence though. He has shown he can go up against guys bigger and bulkier than him and come out on top. At the moment I'm not confident enough in Brown's handles to say he could take advantage of his extra speed. So Smart disrupts his rhythm enough to take the W.

This year has to be show me mode from Smart. A lot of people clamoured last season for Turner to be moved so Smart could take on the ball handling. Well now is his chance! I expect him to grow into it comfortably but time will tell

I'm thinking Brown eventually figures out to post up Smart and wins it largely that way

I picked Jalyen, but it'd be a BRUTAL game to watch.  Neither of them can make a contested shot on a remotely consistent basis, even around the rim.  Considering they are also both physical and good to very good defenders, the game might take an hour.
