It didn't even take a full game for the Los Angeles Lakers to quickly discover the drawbacks of bringing in Marcus Smart. It certainly did not help playing against an active team like the Golden State Warriors during his debut in Los Angeles. Smart will need on-court reps to really ramp up and get back to being a steady contributor once more. Los Angeles is already missing LeBron James due to his sciatica injury. The extra ball handling, scoring, and defensive presence from Smart, in ample substance, would have been a great lift for the Lakers.
