Smart put up five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt) to go along with three rebounds, six assists, and four steals in 31 minutes as a starter against the Nets on Friday. With the recent departure of Rajon Rondo, it seems that Smart will now be spending more time on the court. However, it's still unknown if he'll continue to be the starter moving forward or whether the newly acquired Jameer Nelson could take that role. Either way, the rookie is averaging 19 minutes per game this season but that number should steadily rise as the year moves forward and coach Brad Stevens feels more confident in his abilities.
