Dude was like a clone of LeBron and his playstyle back then and the dunks/blocks/defence and that hawks team was worth staying up till 5am at times to watch. Missed a season or two soon after and suddenly he's decided dunking ain't for him and he's gonna practice 3s during games, missing the majority. Don't recall any injuries or team selection conflicts, so it's either bad coaching or a forever head scratcher. Either way, dude was straight up problem at his peak, shame hell always be in that underrated what if group.

    Two things made Josh Smith’s career fizzle out. One is on him, and that is him trying to be a perimeter wing player despite the fact that he was never going to be anything close to a good 3-point shooter. The other is that he got stuck in an awful misfit situation with the Pistons, being the “small forward” in a lineup that featured two centers by trade. No wonder the Pistons have been irrelevant since the Bad Boys 2.0 era came to an end in the late 2000s.
    Smith should have worked on developing his mid-range and post-up game. I guarantee he would have had a longer career and been able to retire on his own terms instead of basically being forced out of the league because nobody wanted him.

      I don’t know the dude was a bad perimeter defender. His blocks were on traditional centers and power forwards, he was never tasked to switch. I think josh smith was destined to what he was, an above average athletic big. His shooting really held him back.

  • @DavidBoy333
    @DavidBoy333 5 років тому +1

    I do believe a go to move like a 1 dribble pull up jump shot like what Melo used to do or developing a post up Kobe style fade away would have changed his entire career. Most players that relied solely on their athleticism usually dont stay in their prime long enough. Lebrons shooting has improved a lot throughout his career and even Blake Griffin is starting to shoot more often.

    Josh Smith was one of the most exciting players in the league in the mid-2000s when I was in high school. He’s one of the most under appreciated dunkers of that era along with Jason Richardson. The NBA was evolving and he just couldn’t keep up.

  • @keyes4eva

  • @uniquegamer5139
    @uniquegamer5139 5 років тому +1

    Honestly he came into the league at the wrong time. In todays game there's no question he would be a PF instead of being forced to play the perimeter. His defensive versatility to switch would be valued and he wouldn't be shooting mid range shots. He could play the pick and roll and finish at or above the rim or pop out to the 3 where they could've focused on that area.

  • @andrenapitupulu9499
