Hoisting up 42 shots is an astonishing amount of attempts in a single game — especially for a league that’s supposed to be developmental — but when a bunch of them go in, it’s hard to for us to complain. Former Louisville star Russ Smith nearly out shot his entire team Wednesday night, en route to his D-League record.
Think this means we’ll be seeing him in an NBA uniform sometime soon? Think again. Even on his best night, Smith went 1-5 from three, which ain’t cutting it for an NBA point guard in 2016. Still, it’s fun to watch him burn John Stockton’s son for 65 points, so do that.
