First off, the team is balling right now; they win ugly in a lot of ways, but they keep on winning, and it's awesome.
OK, that said, let's talk about Marcus Smart.
His shooting is bad, we know that.
His defense is great. His passing is pretty good. His hustle is off the charts.
Why can't he finish inside? He was something like a 60% finisher in the paint in college. In the pros, his finishing inside has gotten worse every year to where he's shooting around 40% inside 3 feet this season.
What the heck? He's approaching break-even from deep so far this year, but his inability to score inside the arc, even at the rim, with anything like acceptable efficiency makes it hard to get too excited about the other stuff he brings to the table.
If he could just reach the basketball equivalent of the Mendoza line in terms of scoring ability, he'd be awesome.
