He should be owned in every league there is. Sure, sit him on the bench for now, but he's going to be a difference maker at some point this season, which you can't say for most players who have been sitting on the waiver wire at any point.

Yes, he's been maddeningly inconsistent thus far and the stories out of the ATL about his attitude problems don't exactly inspire confidence that he's going to turn things around anytime soon. But the kid is just so damn talented, I feel he will have value at some point this season. Plus, the rumors persist that the Hawks are actively seeking to move Harrington, which would all but guarantee Smith 30-35 mpg. If that happens, watch out! Recall that Smith absolutely blew up following the Walker trade last year, pulling down more boards, as well as hitting some jump shots to go along with his 2 bpg. Making the total package even more appealing is Smith's guard eligibility. So, like many other Smith owners in the Fantasy Hoops universe, I will continue to bide my time and hope that Smith will eventually do more than just take up space on my roster.
