Smart’s offensive evolution good for all involved

Marcus Smart has never been known as a scorer. Instead, his reputation is built upon hustle plays and intense defense. Evolution is natural in NBA players. Improvements are made during the summer where insurmountable hours are spent in the lab.

Smart’s evolution is clear to the naked eye. Over the last two years, his shooting has been on an upwards trajectory. His shooting form and motion look smoother which in turn breathes confidence into his play.

This growth as a three point shooter was evident last season, posting his highest three point percentage of his career at 36.
