Scouting report

Backcourt analysis

Rated 68, Marcus Smart is a deep-bench point guard whose value in Backcourt is roster cover rather than regular minutes.

His best fit is the Floor general role, which runs the offense and sets up everyone else, with low usage of his own. His passing (75), basketball IQ (72) and speed (74) are exactly what that role asks for, and the game rates the match as “Suits him”.

For a point guard, his standout attributes are defense (70) and speed (74), in the top 27% and 50% of point guards respectively.

The trade-off is three-point (56), in the bottom 16% of point guards — surround him with floor spacing so defenses cannot sag into the paint.

Plan his minutes around matchups and blowouts rather than a fixed nightly share. His stamina of 63 means his energy drains quickly, so watch the ENR column.

At 31 he is at or past his peak, so his value is in the seasons he is playing now.

He earns $5.4M a season with a transfer value of $7.8M — fairly priced for his rating.
