Marcus Smart: Woeful shooting during ECF Game 7 loss

Smart’s ugly shooting line contributed to a stagnant Celtic offense that shot
only 34 percent from the field. Youngsters Smart, Terry Rozier and Jaylen Brown
shot a combined 8-for-42. Sunday night was possibly Marcus Smart’s last game in
a Celtic uniform. He’ll enter the off-season as a restricted free agent and
knows Boston needs minutes to both develop Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown and
leverage returning stars Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward. It remains to be seen
if another NBA squad will lavish Smart with a difficult to match contract offer.
On the positive, Smart displays game changing defensive skills, is versatile
enough to play three different positions, and racks up a surprising amount of
assists. But Smart continues to struggle with his shot, shooting 37 percent from
the field during his four seasons in Boston.
