To be honest, there is some animosity on this board against Smith because of Purdue fans saying that Smith is better than Boo. That was laughable. Smith is a decent shooter when he gets wide open threes because everyone is collapsing on Edey. He occasionally can drive the ball, again due to all the attention on Edey, but no way could he create the way Boo does as Boo is the pure focus of every defense. Smith is clearly not the focus of defenses when they play Purdue. Smith also gets picked on from time to time when he's on defense. Finally, for such a great point guard, I was surprised how much trouble he has handling the ball when someone is playing tough on- ball defense against him as he tries to get the ball up the court. Wisconsin's guard ate him alive during that BTTT game.
