Marcus Smart is turning into a sharpshooter for the Boston Celtics
Marcus Smart has been balling lately and has become one of the Eastern Conference’ best shooters in 2019. How did this even happen, and why can I still hear the moans and groans from fans as Smart fires one from deep?
Throughout his career, Marcus Smart has shot the three-ball at an abysmal rate at just 29.3 percent. Regarded as an after-thought from deep, Smart failed to shoot higher than 30 percent in two of his first four seasons.
At one point during the 2017 season, he had the worst shooting percentage in the league. At the start of this season, the narrative seemed to stay the same as Smart shot 17.6 percent in October, so what changed?
