His legs need a lot of work though. That lateral quickness is just poor. It's good that he is at least basketball savvy so I can see him getting around players, but in this league there is no substitute for athleticism. He needs to stay with one of those resistance bands all day every day. He's quick, but when he can get explosive he'll be alright. The handle is tight, the vision is good and the bball smarts is high.

Like a C4.
There's excuses/responses for every single player/everything though. Dude also has shown he can shoot, that's all I can ask for when it comes to that skill for now. Not everyone can knock down shots consistently every night.
However, his passing and his ability to see the floor, is one skill I'm grateful that he doesn't have to work on. I think it can be argued that that's one of the most rare skills in the league, any era, and seems to be more innate than anything. Dude's handles pass the eye test and have seen him break cats down with the dribble on all levels, and although he didn't much credit yesterday he did show it when he got that mid range jumper look and the other time when he got to the basket and hit that shot in traffic.
So far I'm more than content.

Not even Celtic fans belive that.
Pinoy Sabo the best PG from last year's draft. Didn't Smart just get handled by Exum?
Yes we do
Smart da gawd

We'll see how he looks today
He has a lot of pumpfakes that he used in college. I'm sure it's because he's been away from pro ball for so long that it's going to take him awhile to get back in that rhythm.

Also how much of a dumbass is Coach Cal for letting the twins run that Offense? With some of the stuff Towns showed last night, my bruh could have probably averaged 25 & 10 with 5 dimes if they ran thru him

Oh and Julius looked shakey yesterday, but that raw quickness and strength is 
Almost bodied Towns on that charge

He only looked shakey,because he hasn't played ball in so long,I would have been more concerned if his quickness and power was gone,long as he got that he can still live up to his potential
And Clarkston is a transition player with a streaky jumper who has no value outside of getting up and down the floor
Smart is at least a solid starter. Clarkston is a bench player on a good team.

Yeah cause the Twins were real special. Of course those numbers are hyperbole, point is he was being held back.
He does need to improve that lower body strength though

He's not. Neither Curry or Harden where setting the league on fire day one though. Sit back and let him develop...
