Will be interesting to see how this changes their scheme. For years Smart was the spearhead of their aggressive switch heavy/pre rotate/overload scheme. One of the most versatile defenders in the league that basically played the role of a mini-Draymond. Quarterbacking the defense. Using his versatility to make up for mistakes from his teammates.
Now they are replacing him with a "dinosaur" big on defense. There is no way that KP can play a Horford/Williams-like role on defense.
