Marcus Smart is athletic, tough and physical. He is also an elite defender. Unfortunately, he’s not a natural shooter.
Another drawback is his position. He’s a point guard. What does this mean for Rajon Rondo? Or.. does this mean Avery Bradley is out? Celtics need a pure shooter in that trio.
We have plenty of time to speculate…

There was some chatter that Danny Ainge was contemplating a deal with Sacramento but it never materialized:

Mike Scotto of Sheridan Sports has insight on why the Celtics passed on Noah Vonleh:

No character concerns with Smart though. Interesting.
