Even Kemba Walker gets more recognition than Smart. Although all three are great players, Marcus Smart is the perfect role player who does not get enough credit. If the Celtics need someone to lock down on defense, then Smart can do it. If their stars are struggling on offense, Smart can end the drought with a three. His hustle on offense and defense is exceptional, and analysts should not overlook him.
Smart is high up on this list because his talents are relatively unknown to casual fans on basketball. Also, the Celtics guard needs to receive more recognition among analysts and the basketball community. Hence, his spot on the wing in our All-Underrated Team.
