PATTERNS

Inconsistent. Smith has clear good-night/bad-night splits, with scoring swinging ~6 points between games. You're never quite sure which version shows up.

Streaky shooter — only cracks 45% from the field in 40% of games. Efficiency is all over the place night-to-night.

Good defender on his best nights, but it comes and goes. Some games Smith locks in defensively, others he gets picked apart.

Getting better as the season goes on. First-half impact: -7.5, second-half: -1.8. That's a significant jump — could be a role change, confidence, or development clicking.
