Player profile

Smart plays both the point guard and shooting guard positions, but was named the Celtics' starting point guard in 2021. Standing at with a wingspan, Smart is capable of guarding all five positions, enabling him to play a switching defense with historic efficiency. Smart has earned a reputation as a hustle player. He is known for diving for loose balls and taking charges, and has been nicknamed "the Cobra" as a result. Due to his physicality, quick hands, and elite basketball IQ, many consider Smart to be one of the most versatile and consistent defenders in the NBA. Although not a high percentage shooter, Smart is aggressive on offense and defense. He often guards opposing players taller than he is, using his physicality to make them uncomfortable and often causing turnovers or missed shots. Over his years in the league, Smart's three-point shooting has improved. His former teammate, Kemba Walker, describes the energy Smart brings to the game: "It's exciting. It's energizing. He just gets everybody going. Gets us going, gets the crowd going. Like I said, we just kinda feed off him. He just does so many great things. And propels our defense each and every night."
