Marcus Smart’s Debut Sparks Doubts and Excitement: What Does He Really Bring to the Lakers?

There’s an undeniable spark in the air around the Lakers’ camp this week, and you can pretty much trace it back to one name: Marcus Smart. After nursing Achilles tendinopathy and skipping out on most of training camp drills, Smart finally threw down some serious minutes in practice — live scrimmages included — and the buzz is palpable. Coach JJ Redick couldn’t help but praise the guy’s tenacity, noting how Smart managed to keep his intensity high despite the workload.
