NBA:
What are the fantasy implications of Smart’s addition for the Lakers’ backcourt and surrounding cast?
Qwiket AI:
Smart’s arrival should boost steals and defensive efficiency, potentially lifting team-level blocks and forced turnovers. His guard-play and court vision could improve teammates’ scoring opportunities, especially Ayton and Davis in the pick-and-roll. Expect more low-to-mid 20s usage for Smart with spikes in assists, while shooting efficiency may hinge on lineup harmony and spacing around his drives.
