Smart is the Bulldog. Crowder is the Predator, Bradley is the Cat. This trio will lead this team to the next rung.

I see them all as good role players on a team with two all-stars leading to the next ring. Also, idk about Bradley or how I feel about him, but I definitely want to keep Smart and Crowder long-term

No one knows if Smart's going to be a role player IMO. How can we predict freshmen? Anyways, yesterday, without the offensive plays being run for him, he swallowed up 25pts, 9boards, couple of steals. Not even accounting the major impact he just has on the game. Blocking shots, drawing fouls even away from the ball.

He's already intimidating players not to do anything in the offense. His impact on the game will huge one day. He's just all over the place, and his instincts are impeccable. The Larry Bird pass he made yesterday was the point. Next year when he's had an ENTIRE off season with position coaches, working on floaters, finishing, short jumpers and improving his overall jump shot, no telling whom he can be. I saw after a play yesterday, he was giving instructions to all the starters in a mini huddle, and all were listening to him.

As they mentioned about his defense, it's just like Mozart in music. It's a beauty to watch. The only reason he could not get more aggressive with Westbrook down the stretch was because of foul trouble., and superstar favoritism.

Yea calling a guy that has played 50 games and has already won rookie of the month and had performances like yesterday at 21 a role player is really pessimistic.

Rung perhaps because they are on ladders, rings I do not think your winning a ring down the road with Crowder as your SF unless he is coming off the pine.

If Atlanta can be a contender with Demarre Carrol as their starting small forward, I don't see any reason why a team can't build a contender with Jae Crowder as their starting small forward. 

Edit:

As a matter of fact, there's already a contender out there that currently features Jae Crowder as their starting three man. 

DKC Detroit knows what I'm talking about.

... he has leadership skills beyond any rookie I've seen in some time. Keep Smart, and all the things that made you love this team like their hustle and determination will stay here for years to come.

His natural leadership truly sets him apart from his peers. Its apparent that he is well loved by teammates and staff, and his energy on the court is visibly infectious. I'm hoping we are able to keep him and his determination as well.

Smart would play well wherever he was, he is that sort of 100% player. That given Stevens has done an enormous job to get the most out of him and he has brought him along at a good pace. He will keep improving and his ceiling is difficult to predict.

Coach has done a great job with every player, that is supported by stats and what you see when watching the team.

Don't usually play favourites but I like what AB is doing. Still young and improving, may never be as big a name as others, but too often underrated and often a difference maker.
