 Watch at about 2 minutes 58 seconds in, his form is really beautiful. Whereas last year the ball came all the way down to his knees. Great job smart and coaching staff helping smart get rid of the ball that much quicker.

So far so good.  His shooting percentages have skyrocketed from 35% to 40% FG and from 25% to 32% from three.   That's enough to go from historically bad to below average.  His true shooting percentage went from 374th in the league last year to 137th so far this season. 

I hope to see more progress.  I'm looking towards Kemba Walker's rise in efficiency for hope.

Definitely positive, his mid range has improved as well. I think some of it is to do with him having the ball in his hands more, feeling more comfortable on offense. He's coming into his own this year which is fantastic news

Great video thanks TP.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

I think Tommy was also making a point in the NY game where Smart doesn't get nearly involved enough on the offensive ned, most of his 3 point shots are last second shots and half time/end of quarter half court shots that only holds his numbers down
