Hope he sticks with college ball another year, but I doubt it. Just knocked off KU @ Phog Allen Fieldhouse.

Smart said the backflip is his signature move everytime he gets a big win :lol :lol

[dbk123]

a freshman going for 25/9/3 and 5 steals against #1 ranked KU. is this real life?

[bdreason]

Haven't seen him play much, but his size and strength at the PG spot is impressive.

If I had a nickel for every time someone spelled DWYANE WADE's name wrong I'd be a millionaire.

[Rubio2Gasol]

Forgive my skepticism when every random guard without a consistent jumper has been labelled "the New Dwayne Wade".

Great article

[Cowboy Thunder]

Had a rough scoring game against Baylor last time out.. shooting 4/21, but ended up with a great game regardless: 8 boards, 7 asst, 4 steals, 14 pts.

Next up: Smart vs Texas in minutes

[Papaya Petee]

Lol god no:roll:

[BrickingStar]

Won't even scratch wade's career

[Cowboy Thunder]

^ :lol Losers don't know sh!t, even when they're spewing it



Marcus Smart today:


23 pts, 7 rebs, 5 steals


(MVP of the Big 12 as a Freshman). No one has wrecked the league like this as a freshman since Durant. :bowdown:

Pokes win:applause:

[IGotACoolStory]

He's my favorite player in the draft. I called the DWade comparison when I saw him in high school and I'm not backing down.

Not saying he will be the next DWade like OP is saying, but he plays very similarly and there's no doubt in my mind he will be a very good pro. How good? Who knows. One team is going to get a major building piece for their future.

[brandonislegend]

Rodney Purvis reminds me more of Wade they play the same exact way even move the same way, but Smart will probably be better

I've seen better games from wade in his rookie year in the NBA

The **** is your point? College bball is a different game.

Blake Griffin never had the impact in the Big 12 that he has had in the NBA.

Very different leagues...

[Cowboy Thunder]

Here's a Player A vs. Player B comparison. Stats are from the freshman year of both players:
Player A: 14.2 pts; 5.9 reb; 4.7 ast; 0.8 blk; 3.0 stl; 40.2 FG%; 27.7 3PT%; 77.1 FT%
Player B: 14.9 pts; 4.5 reb; 4.7 ast; 0.4 blk; 1.2 stl; 47.7 FG%; 33.7 3PT%; 71.2 FT%

Player A is Marcus Smart. Player B is Derrick Rose from 2007-2008, the #1 pick of the draft after his freshman year. By the way, Smart is listed at 6'4'' and 225 lbs. Rose is listed at 6'3'' and 205 lbs. Of course Rose has world-class athleticism and shot slightly higher percentages than Smart.

what?

wasnt he in the national player of the year conversation his sophomore year?

EDIT: he won the naismith in 2009

:bowdown: :applause:

rose came on hella strong as the season went on though, by march, he was a lot better than his averages indicated.

[CavaliersFTW]

HGH is going to be tested in the NBA starting next season. There is no next Dwyane Wade :no:

[Dbrog]

Where did this guy even come from? I've never heard anything on Marcus Smart until now? Do you guys think this guys game can translate this well to the NBA and warrant the #1 pick?

[el gringos]

I think he has more value in the nba as a pg than a sg. I could see him go top 3 or no worse than 14 so it would be tough seeing him return for a soph season

:bowdown: :applause:

Guy's a great player, but talking about A vs B I'd take Player B (Rose) 10/10 times based on those stats. 40% FG/ 27% 3P vs 47.7 FG/ 33 % 3P, with close stats across the board (minus steals).

[HiphopRelated]

Nobody shooting 40% is the next Wade

Maybe Steve Francis if he works at it

[Rubio2Gasol]

40%? - I'm on the wagon. Not the next Wade Wagon - but I like the kid :lol

Here is to actively hoping he's not the new Wade - in that he actually has a consistent jumper and 3 point shot and doesn't need refs to act as his personal crutch when he gets to the league :rockon:

[gilalizard]

So the refs are going to carry him to multiple championships?

COOL!

"Pay attention to Marcus Smart: The Oklahoma State guard might be the most unheralded player in the country right now. Seriously. The reason might be that on their own, none of his numbers jumps off the stat line -- he averages 14.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.0 steals per game -- but then go back and look at that list collectively.

:roll: Wade was putting up 24\7\6 on his second year in the NBA leading his team to the ECF, only injuries stopping him.

Please stop comparing random college kids with high potential to NBA legends.

Little update on Smartacus:


3 hours ago today they named Marcus Smart --- Big 12 Freshman of the Year & Big 12 Player of the Year


"Smart is the fourth OSU player to be named Big 12 Player of the Year, joining James Anderson (2010), Tony Allen (2004) and John Lucas III (2004) and the school's seventh conference player of the year overall.


He's just the third freshman to be named both Big 12 Freshman and Player of the Year, along with Kevin Durant of Texas and Michael Beasley of Kansas State."-newsok


:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: (wish this thread didn't compare him to D. Wade, but it helps get eyes on the thread :lol )

[TheCorporation]

Wade is something special, especially peak Wade. Let's give the kid some time to become something in the NBA before we make comparisons like this.

People were saying Davis is the next KG, etc. Let's wait a bit first.

I'm sorry Marcus!!! I just wanted to get thread views last year. I take it all back.


39 pts, 5 steals, 4 rebs, 2 blocks against the #11 team.


I'm sorry Smarticus!!!! Smart > Wade!!:bowdown: :bowdown:

[MavsPoke]

WOW is all I can say. Just WOW.:bowdown:

[DStebb716]

a freshman going for 25/9/3 and 5 steals against #1 ranked KU. is this real life?

He's not a freshman.
EDIT: Nevermind, didn't notice that this was bumped for some dumb reason

[GOBB]

Needs to show that jumper consistently this season before I mention him in the same breath as a Wade.

[Cowboy Thunder]

WOW is all I can say. Just WOW.:bowdown:

Not big thing jumping over a guy to swat his shot, right?

Because someone who draws comparisons to D-Wade should have a consistent Jump shot ......like D-Wade has one himself :oldlol:

[Nash]

why didn't he go to the nba last draft? he would have been #1 collecting that big paycheck. Now he'll be further down

[DukeDelonte13]

why didn't he go to the nba last draft? he would have been #1 collecting that big paycheck. Now he'll be further down

i was surprised he went back too. He would have been a top 4/5 pick for sure.

[Inferno]

why didn't he go to the nba last draft? he would have been #1 collecting that big paycheck. Now he'll be further down

He said he understood he was turning down $$ but wanted to develop his game more

[Cowboy Thunder]

He said he understood he was turning down $$ but wanted to develop his game more

Didn't hurt that he was a little banged up at the end of the year last year either.

[PJR]

Yeah, no. Not even ****ing close.

[parkespapa]

Not so great Sunday night as he was 2 weeks ago.

Wade has a jumper. Smart stayed in school to work on his jumper. Admitted it was a big part of his game that needed work. Nothing I said was offbase. Comparing this kid to Wade is. Outside of jumpers, his decision making isnt the best. Assist to turnover ratio is laughs. You seem like a Wade hater. Wade midrange game is :applause:

When people compare guys to other players, they arent actually saying they'll be that good right away. If he's the next Wade, then he'll develop like Wade did.
