You aren’t not a go to guy “anymore” you never were. Go-to-guys need to have some offense extending beyond dunking or you’re just a defensive hero that needs all-star caliber shooters/slashers around him to be on a winning team (looking at you Dwight…)

He can fly naturally and is mentioned with Lebron as the best overall athletes in the game, no combine that with a work out regimen equal to Lebrons. He’d be in the same boat with LBJ as far as people who are hard to guard because of their physical abilities. Once playoff time rolls around, J.Smith is going to wish he hit the gym harder, because LBJ is just as fast, but 3 x’s stronger and will use that (and the refs) to get over on Smith.

He is a unique player–somewhere between small and power forward guy. I agree with Chicagorilla that he looks like he should take better care of his weight, but he still basically can fly. Josh also seems to be committing far less (boneheaded) turnovers this year, which was always one of his weak spots.

Seriously though, is J.Smith works on his post game, works on becoming an elite on-ball defender and not just help defender, and gets his body more “cut-up”. He’d be an all-star easy, and perhaps a top 10 player. But it’s been 5yrs now, and he gained a little weight (not in a good way either), but thats it. He is what he is. a very good role player. the black AK47.
