Why the Boston Celtics need Marcus Smart more than ever

Marcus Smart came to the Boston Celtics in 2014 after being selected with the 6th overall pick in the NBA Draft. Smart has been a member of the Celtics longer than any other player on the roster and will likely be assuming a leadership position following a stunt as co-captain on Team USA.

During this period of change, the Boston Celtics will need Smart to be a leader but more than that, they will need an efficient player. Kemba Walker may be the new sheriff in town, but Smart has the most experience playing in the green and white treads.
