The 25-year-old has played all five spots on the floor for Boston during his tenure with the team, seemingly filling any need it has. Yes, he primarily serves as a point guard, but what does Smart consider himself as?
“I’m a stretch 6,” Smart said, per The Athletic’s Jay King. “That’s what I call myself.”

The Oklahoma State product averaged 8.9 points and four assists in 80 games with the Boston.
