Through 14 games into his second season, Dennis Smith is averaging around 14 points, three rebounds, and four assists, numbers which are slightly down compared to last season when Smith finished the season making the NBA All Rookie second team.
Smith’s over all level of play has been fine to quite good at times, mainly because his three point shot has looked much improved in a limited sample size. However, compared to teammate Luka Doncic, the shine has dimmed somewhat due to no fault of Smith’s. That said, Smith’s development is key if the Mavericks hope to take any significant steps this season.
