Here in Boston, we absolutely adore Marcus Smart. Sure, he's frustrating at times (a lot actually), but his all-around impact on the court is major, and it's easy to take notice.

His defensive presence is something to marvel. He always flies around the court and gives 150%, diving for loose balls and forcing turnovers. He understands what it takes to lead a team, especially in the city of Boston. He "gets it."

On the offensive side of the ball, however, there's work to be done. A lot of it.

According to this study by Zach Harper of CBS Sports, Smart's first two seasons as a Celtic were historic.
