Starting power forward Josh Smith has been outstanding this season for the Hawks. Smith has played in 71 games (all starts) for the Hawks this season and he is averaging 35.2 minutes, 15.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 2.1 blocked shots per game. Smith hustles at both ends of the court and that’s why he fills up the stat sheet so well. They will likely need him to help out Al Horford a lot on defense when the Hawks tangle with a big center in the playoffs.
