Scouting report

Signature strength

You cannot load up on anybody. Mark Smith and a lineup full of shooters turn the half court into a track meet of clean looks.

Fatal flaw

If it cracks, it cracks under March pressure. Put Scotty Pippen Jr in a win-or-go-home grinder against a hot, fearless underdog, and a thin postseason profile is exactly what gets exposed.
