Can we cross Marcus Smart off the list?

[JazzTalk]

After Gordon's miraculous workout today you can cross everyone not named "A-God" off the list.

All Hail A-God

He co-authored a pretty detailed analysis on the P&R. It's heavy reading and looks at the P&R from all angles of the court, not just the traditional Stockton-Malone P&R.

In Locke's interview, he is asked about that analysis. Besides saying that 80% of all half court sets involve PNRs, he was told some years ago by Lindsey that PNR defense gets coaches fired and hired. Check out this beginning at about the 7:25 mark:

If it is Smart who can contribute the most on the defensive end in PNR situations, he may still be very much in play at 5.

Lol @ everyone who voted that Smart won't be drafted.

We're still weeks away from the draft. Why would we cross out anybody?
