Smart joined the Celtics in 2014 when he was selected sixth overall by the franchise in the year's rookie draft. He has since established himself as the heart and soul of the team, bringing in some much-needed energy and hustle in every game.
While his numbers really don't pop out, it's worth noting that he recorded his best season with the team last season stat-wise. Smart put up career highs of 13.1 points and 5.7 assists, all while recording 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals per outing.
While some might think that the Celtics overpaid to keep Smart, there is no doubt that the team needs him as they try to return to title contention. He is one of their leaders, and his presence is necessary to keep the Beantown team focused on their goals.
