Marcus Smart - BOS - G

Last two games: 20 and 22 minutes, respectively. Uh oh.

Is Bradley's return going to continue to crush Smart's value?

Smart (up) or Zubac (down). H2H 9CAT 12 team.

I picked this guy up a month ago. Never looked back ever since.

Smart or lin?

My man

smart (up) or gary harris (down)

(up) smart or (down) lin, 12 tam h2h ROS

Smart UP or Mudiay DOWN. P, 3, S & B. Seems like Smart's shooting has REALLY cooled off (and Mudiay seems a lot more efficient). But his swipes and blocks are still sweet.

Drop Josh Richardson for Marchus Smart? (Up = yes, down = no). As much as I've loved J. Rich when he's been on, it seems theres always some injury/problem with him. With only 2 games this week and with me struggling to make the playoffs, i just don't know if i can hold him through his current injury..

I think the short-term projection is the culprit there. Though, I won't blame it since he is playing way above his norm.

The Smart Tool aint smart at all. I think it's broken.

With his recent play do you think the Smart Tool will stop telling me to drop him every week? Irony.

Smart PG/SG elgibility soon surely?

(Up) marcus smart (down) AF Aminu. Punt fg% H2H.

up for smart - down for Deron Williams

(up) carroll (down) smart

smart (up) or gary harris (down)? 12 team h2h

@aoofelipe - Counting stats sure but fg% very unlikely

Is this current form sustainable?

(Up) Smart, (Down) Gary Harris ROS punt fg%, H2H

@drewskiev if you are looking for shooting efficiency than neither Smart nor MCW should be anywhere on your radar of players to consider adding

Then you should look elsewhere I'm afraid. FG% killers both of them.

Marcus Smart (down) or MCW (up)? looking for defensive stats and shooting efficiency...

UP for Smart Down for Hood

Smart or Mudiay in a punt fg format 9 cat league?

@gdiama really good to hear that from him. His shooting has been better the past couple games.

Marcus Smart admitted that poor shot selection has been a factor in his shooting just 36.7 percent from the field this season. "Part of the reason why my shooting is low is I take bad shots; everybody sees that," he said. "Anybody that knows basketball, my shot selection is the reason my percentage is low. The good shots I take, I make them." Ok then FIX it!

real life when you play tired team (2nd night of a b2b and 4th game in 5 nights). and then have a nice matchup against a smaller guard in DJA which to his credit, posted up and used his bigger frame to establish position. only 2 attempts from the 3 pt line. he needs to be doing more of what he did in college which is to score closer to the basket.

71% from the floor tonight. Is this real life?!

@moe05 or shooting my team out of winning FG% this week. T___T #fingerscrossed

@Gdiama The problem is that they have playing more sg and sf than pg. I think that is why he is not posting up more and taking more 3's. He is starting pg tonight - I can see him getting double&double - 10 points/assists 5 rebounds and 2 steals.

The only real problem is his % and this comes mainly from their style of play that they want all these guards to space the floor. Smart is taking too many 3s for a guy with a career%<30 and this won't really change as it works for Stevens and they get the Ws.He was taking many 3s in college but now it's around 50% of his shots from 3. Every game the Celtics commentators are screaming for Smart to go close to the basket and take advantage of his strenght against the smaller guards but he doesn't really do so.

I really don't want to give up on him. Can't think of too many guys that play harder. But seems to be one of those cases where his skills don't translate into stats.

Smart (UP) or Beverley (DOWN) ROS in Roto?

Becoming less and less relevant in standard leagues? Thoughts on the change after Crowder/Horford returning?

That projection just keeps plummeting... went early on him industry draft, and he's shooting worse than ever. Come on, Marcus!

They have an outside stat provider that does it for them, yahoo themselves aren't involved in it

How does yahoo determine position eligibility changes?

The guy has been playing most of his minutes at sg or sf.

Any chance of Smart having SG eligibility?

I was wondering the same thing but maybe it has more to do with Avery Bradley and I Thomas out performing their projections hence taking value away from Smart.

Yes, me too. Curious and not complaining. Great job guys!

Yes, me too. Curious and not complaining. Great job guys!

Yes it wasn't that great that you downgraded him that much. I mean he was drafted for a reason and then you take away 2 pts, 0.5 3s, half a reb and half an assist if I remember correctly. These are like 2 rounds lower. Not that it makes a big dif right now, but why?

Just curious why the big downgrade after 2 games? What changed from his preseason outlook? Thanks

Brad Stevens came out and said there are no minutes restrictions on Smart today

Man this guy better bring the goods dropped delly for him

last 2 times he came back from injuries he hardly played in the first game. Why is he projected for 30 minutes?

Because I think he's taking on a bigger role, his shot can come around, and he fills up the box score. This is his third season, prime time for a breakout

breakout candidate? why's that?

Wilso - I would take Smart over Lawson due to the potential volatility of Lawson's role and the fact that he is playing for the Kings, who seem to be in a constant search for their PG of the future.

Thanks Kyle, but I was trying to see who would have more ROS value , Smart or Lawson? 9 cat

Thanks Kyle and Wilso. Guess I might resort to the old coin flip approach

jw9nine - Tough call. I'd be fine dropping either of them. RHJ's upside is still there, and TJ might see a slightly reduced role when Richardson is back.

Wilso - If you have to drop one of them, I'd probably drop Tyler Johnson over Ty Lawson. I'm trying to hold onto Lawson until we see how things shakeout when Collison is back.

Drop Tyler Johnson

TY Lawson or Marcus Smart ROS?

Said he's going to play Wed. Who do I drop? RHJ and his 3 games this wk or TyJo and his 2 games this wk?

Currently on the waivers, time to scoop him up?

Anyone thinks yahoo will add SG eligibility to Smart eventually?

I'm with you end3r, it's a week of action, adding Rozier will be useful for a week. I'm holding him

I think that's pretty premature. Reports indicate he's only out for 2 weeks meaning at most he misses only the opening week, 3 games. And with a 14 team league and with a pretty shallow waiver wire, I'm almost willing to guarantee someone will swoop him up.

Drafted Smart in the 9th round (114) in a 14-team H2H league. Given ankle sprain is he a drop candidate now for Rozier or should i ride him out.

Seriously though, if Smart would just lay off the 3 pt attempts...that was never his game in college. He's shown that he can't shoot it at a respectable %.

Coach Brad Stevens has referred to Smart as his "6th starter". So I think Marcus will see a good chunk of minutes. He can play and defend all 3 perimeter positions which opens up his opportunities for minutes.

Rozier will get a lot of Turner's minutes, but Smart played 27 last season and only needs to get 3 of Turner's to get to 30 minutes. Rozier isn't playing 30 minutes a night

They've been talking up Terry Rozier quite a bit recently. Is he much of a threat?

Yes that, and maybe his shot doesn't quite come around, but I think the risk is minimal. I have a hard time thinking he won't get 30 minutes.

what's the risk factor for Smart? playing time?
