Smart chipped in with 21 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, an assist and a steal across 34 minutes in Friday's loss to Salt Lake City.

EDGE Analysis

Smart has been Birmingham's most reliable and consistent scorer recently, and the former Louisiana State guard is averaging 18.2 points per game this season. His ability as a scorer is proven in the G League, however, so these numbers shouldn't surprise anyone. In fact, he scored 21.1 points per game for Sioux Falls during the 2021-22 campaign across 25 outings.

Smart posted 23 points (9-15 FG, 5-9 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and a steal across 38 minutes in Wednesday's 126-106 loss to Ontario.

EDGE Analysis

Smart hasn't been able to replicate the same numbers he posted with Sioux Falls last season, but he's firmly entrenched as one of Birmingham's best players so far in the early stages of the regular season. He's averaging 17.9 points per game and has recorded at least 20 points in three of his last five appearances.

Smart had 20 points (6-17 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), a rebound, two assists and a steal across 34 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Ignite.

EDGE Analysis

Smart has scored in double digits in all four games of the regular season so far and has reached the 20-point mark twice, so he's been playing quite well and emerging as a reliable scoring weapon for the Squadron. He should get even more touches on offense with the promotion of Dereon Seabron to the Pelicans roster.

Smart had 20 points (7-10 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists and a steal across 27 minutes in Thursday's 134-101 win over the Legends.

EDGE Analysis

Smart was one of two Birmingham players that reached the 20-point mark in this dominant win. He can play off the bench or in the starting unit, but he's managed to deliver productive performances almost on a regular basis for Birmingham. Smart averaged 13.7 points per game across 18 appearances in the Showcase.

Smart recorded 31 points (10-12 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five assists and a rebound across 34 minutes in Saturday's win over the Hustle.

EDGE Analysis

Smart had his best performance of the entire Showcase Cup in the final game, and he is setting up the foundations for having a strong regular season with the Squadron. He played 15 times for Birmingham during the Showcase Cup and scored in double digits in all but four of those outings, including three of his last four. This was the first game in which he cleared the 30-point mark, though.

Smart posted 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds, a steal and a block across 30 minutes off the bench in Friday's loss to the Capitanes.

Smart looked active and managed to leave a mark on both ends of the court despite coming off the bench. His role has been changing on a regular basis, but he's still putting up decent numbers and is averaging 15.3 points, 3.5 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game on the season.

Smart racked up 15 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four steals, two rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes off the bench in Saturday's loss to Austin.

EDGE Analysis

Smart recorded 28 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five assists, five steals and four rebounds across 41 minutes in Friday's win over the Legends.

EDGE Analysis

Smart has been a reliable scoring threat for the Squadron this season and has managed to surpass the 20-point mark in three of his last five contests. Scoring figures aside, what really stands out about Smart is his efficiency as a scorer, as he's made 56.9 percent of his shots and 41.9 percent of his three-point attempts in the current campaign.

Smart notched 25 points (9-15 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 38 minutes in Tuesday's loss against Lakeland.

EDGE Analysis

Smart has been one of Birmingham's most reliable scoring threats in the season's opening weeks, and the numbers back him up. He scored at least 15 points in each of his last three outings, averaging 18.0 points while shooting 56 percent from the field to begin the campaign.

Smart had 23 points (8-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, six assists and three steals across 39 minutes in Friday's loss against the Vipers.

EDGE Analysis

It's only been two games, but Smart has looked impressive on both ends of the court so far, putting up solid scoring figures and also contributing across other categories. This was a marked step in the right direction compared to the season opener, as he posted just nine points, five rebounds, an assist and a steal against Lakeland on Nov. 6.
