PATTERNS

Struggling. Smith has posted negative impact in 82% of games this season. The production rarely outweighs the cost.

Average defender. Smith doesn't hurt you defensively, but he's not making opponents uncomfortable either.

Small downward trend. First-half impact: -2.4, second-half: -5.0. Not alarming yet, but trending the wrong direction.

In a rough stretch — 12 straight games with negative impact. Longest cold streak this season: 12 games.
