Marcus Smart finally showed some aggression…inside the 3-point line

When it comes to scoring this preseason for the Celtics rookie, the point guard has lived outside the 3-point arc. Entering Wednesday’s game, 75 percent of Smart’s field goal attempts had been taken from 3-point range, a discouraging figure considering Smart was one of the best guard finishers in college last season. Luckily, Smart showed some of that inside scoring ability against Brooklyn Wednesday. Smart finished three shots at the rim and earned a few trips to the free throw line as well in 16 minutes of action. With the Celtics lacking offensive players that can consistently create their own shot, Smart’s growth in this department will be crucial for the team’s development this season. (Boston.com)
Fantasy Impact:
Marcus Smart looked great driving to the basket versus the Nets on Wednesday night. If Smart can mix that up with his 3-point shooting he should make an impact offensively. Smart should be looked at in later rounds of standard drafts for those looking for steals, assists and 3-pointers.
