Right now we have Cousins who can create for himself, and IT off the bench. That's it. We need another creator, his shot will develop over time. He's a smart player with a high IQ, he makes good decisions for the most part. He's a willing passer and has good vision. His assists numbers will rise as the season goes on, and I think part of the problem is his teammates. His handle and passing/vision/IQ is more than good enough to play the point in the NBA in my opinion. And his physical advantage will cause all sorts of problems. He's also very athletic for a guy of his build. He's not the same as Tyreke, no two players in the NBA are the same. Comparisons are always silly but help people to feel better about who they're evaluating.
I know baja isn't high on Smart. I just think his game is more suited to the NBA with the added space. And I have to admit, his defense makes me drool...
