Yeah...He's probably the 2nd best all around player for the Hawks.
Josh Smith's Breakout March
14.9 PPG
7.2 RPG
4.0 APG
2.45 BPG
39.7 MPG
44% 3PT
Five more games to play this month, but I think this has been his breakout month. In the last 10 games, averaging over 15.5 PPG and 7.0 RPG.
These are not exactly an all-star's stat line, but they are good since a lot of people were calling him bust at the all-star weekend.

Is it a case of playing better or being better utilizied by the Hawks?
2nd one, but maybe some of playing better too. Definately has seen his minutes go up to near 40 MPG for the first time in his career. But he is shooting the ball really well. I think getting the green light from the coaches has helped his confidence a little too.
didn't he sort of do this last year at the end of the year too? Now that the season is basically over, are they just giving him garbage minutes?
Not really. As a rookie, he had very little games where he scored 15 or more points. But he has really stepped his game up lately. Especially from the outside.Mikedc said:didn't he sort of do this last year at the end of the year too? Now that the season is basically over, are they just giving him garbage minutes?
Today, he has 17 points (2/3 from 3pt), 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 3 blocked shots at the half-time versus Memphis.
Ended up with 27/7/5/5 in a blowout loss to Memphis, ah well. It is still good to see him breaking out, finally.
