Marcus Smart has been a below average shooter from beyond the arc for the totality of his NBA career. Unfortunately for the Los Angeles Lakers, they need him to change that fact about himself if they are going to have any hope of making a splash during the 2026 playoffs.
The good news? The month of March has been kind to the Lakers veteran. Smart shot 3-of-5 from deep to open the month on March 1. March 5 against the Denver Nuggets was a 3-of-6 shooting night from distance. March 6 featured 3-of-4 dropping in the 3-point department versus the Indiana Pacers.
