I have no doubt our offense is poorly designed but Smith was never the most overly efficient scorer. Last year he was sitting at 1.23 points per shot where the average for guys in the top 10, excluding him, in the ACC, of 3 point fg% was 1.37. Right now he is sitting at 1.16. The top 10 ACC 3 point shooters by percentage are averaging 1.38, and the top 8 are 1.43. Over the last 8 is has taken 113 FGA and scored 122 points or 1.08 points per shot. To put that in perspective, this year GT is 268th in the country in points per shot at 1.21 pps. And 1.08 pps would be "good" for 344th in the nation in that category as a team. To me it seems clear based on his play that he came here because he saw an opportunity to shoot as much as he wants. I wouldn't be surprised if his starting on the bench was a message.
