Dennis Smith Jr’s rookie year was a classic display from a wildly talented score first guard. Inefficient volume shooting, lots of mistakes and very few wins. To his credit, coach Rick Carlisle let Smith Jr play through his mistakes for the most part and early on this season we are starting to see the benefits.

Perpetually underrated big man Nikola Vucevic joined the crowd last season stepping outside the arc and expanding his already impressive offensive game to long range. A capable scorer on the interior, Vooch attempted 204 threes last season, which was more than double his previous six seasons combined.
