Marcus Smart is one of my favorite players in the NBA, and not just because he’s an OSU guy who was fun to cover in Stillwater.
Smart doesn’t shoot all that well. He’s a career 29.3 percent 3-point shooter in the NBA, and in this era, 3-point shooting is cherished and should be.
Smart also doesn’t know when to stop shooting. This season, he took more 3-pointers per minutes played than did teammates Jayson Tatum, Al Horford and Jaylen Brown, and they shot .434, .429 and .393, respectively, from 3-point range.
But Smart literally does everything else well.
