Is Marcus Smart's improvement overhyped?

Guest post by LarBrd33

There was a lot of excitement following Smart's first two Summer league games. As tradition with Summer league, fans overreacted. I saw some fans declare that Smart was living up to his superstar potential. His shooting, ball handling and distribution seemed significantly better. He was attacking the basket. Marcus was breaking out! But it was only two games. And in half of those games, Smart shot 30%. My concerns about Smart's offensive ability weren't suddenly cured with a couple summer league games.

First, a reminder that you should ALWAYS take Summer league with a grain of salt.
