If and when Marcus Smart gets hurt, the Los Angeles Lakers don't have many defensive options at the guard position.
The Los Angeles Lakers just signed Marcus Smart, but with his injury history, they are at risk of having no on-ball stoppers at the guard position if/when he’s out. In recent years, Smart has been unable to stay on the court consistently, and that doesn’t bode well for the Lakers’ perimeter defense.
At face value, Smart is a perfect fit for LA’s roster.
