Las Vegas Day 4 recap: Marcus Smart

Posted Jul 27, 2011
Marcus Smart (Flower Mound, Texas/Marcus), 2012, WF, 6-foot-4, 205 pounds: Smart is the definition of a winner. The burly, wing-type affects the game in every possible way. He makes his teammates better by driving into the teeth of the defense and kicking it out to his prolific shooters. Smart isn't a great shooter, but he does have the ability to stretch the defense with his stroke as he knocked down a couple of long-range jump shots. The bottom line with Smart is he is relentless and impacts (triple-double stat-stuffer) the game at both ends. (ESPN.com)
