Smith accumulated 22 points (8-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over 32 minutes during Sunday's 127-120 loss to Golden State.
The highly touted rookie struggled in the opening weeks of the season, but this was the perfect example of what he can do when his shots are falling. For the most part, Smith has been inefficient and inconsistent, shooting just 33.3 percent from the field and 30.2 percent from three on the year. His efficiency has been slightly better of late, though he's still difficult to justify starting in most standard leagues. Long-term, Smith has plenty of potential, and he should improve as the year goes along, but he's endured a rocky first month in the NBA.
