A solution to Marcus Smart's poor shooting - a new splint

Every Boston Celtics' fan is aware that Marcus Smart has never been the team's most efficient shooter. It's old news. But since returning from surgery on his torn thumb, he's been especially bad.

During the 2017-2018 season, with a working thumb, Smart averaged 10.2 points on .367 shooting from the field and .301 shooting from behind the arc.

In his four games this playoffs, with a dinged-up fifth finger, Marcus has put up 7.3 points on .261 hitting from the floor and .063 from deep. Yes, you read that correctly.
