Josh Smith and Lebron James are physically so similar...yet Lebron James is soooo much better. Josh Smith doesn't have the mental makeup to be amazing.That is what separates great players from good players. It is not something he is going to learn...it is something you develop growing up playing ball.However, he has athleticism and that will take him to the level he is now. Only hours and hours and hours of basketball work in the offseason will help hisgame.

so far he hasnt been making smart decisions. besides why argue with the ref and get a technical? that wasnt smart either, cause it's not likea ref is gonna change the call, just cause you argue the call as a player.. i think that he can be an all star player, he has the hops to get there, only notthe IQ or the desire

I see so many people questioning his "desire". I don't understand why...unless you know some secret...I don't understand how you can look ata player and question his desire without having some facts to back it up. The work he puts in over the summer has been well documented in the media. Son put inwork in the weight room after his rookie season...and although it isn't where it needs to be has made strides with his ball handling and jumpshot. It is aWELL known fact that he is a hot head and has a major temper problem. But these "lazy" claims I'm not understanding.

Really? cause i never heard such of thing, which is why i question him working on his game. his D is great but thats because of his athletisism. my mainproblem is that jump shot is broke and no go to post move what so ever

if that was really the case, then how come you dont see him improve much? all he is, is a highlight reel player. nothing more. like everyone said he missesthat mental part. he shoulda gone to college, he's not one of those highschool players that was mentally ready for it like KG, Kobe,Tmac, Bron, D12

Did you not watch the games? They matched up quite often..
To those saying he dont work on his game at all.. he was in Houston the whole offseason working with Hakeem The Dream 2 years ago..

in the games where beasley got decent minutes is when the games were blow outs... so basically he got all the left over minutes....
working with the dream dont mean a damn thing..... charles had tiger help him out with his golf swing..... and it still didnt make a difference...

if smith could go right, shoot consistently and put the ball on the floor he'd be chris bosh on steroids.....plus his D is already proper.

Maybe I'm late but you guys are kidding right? josh smith hustles? Plays defense? josh plays d as if he has never been taught whatdefense is. And he seems to care less about winning or losing and more about his stats and highlight plays. I would say that josh would be ok with a loss if hemade the top ten on sc and put up 20+ points, even if he was guarding Dirk and Dirk had 40 against him. Just my honest opinion on the guy.
Very gifted but doesn't have the enthusiasm for bball you need to be a elite player in the nba.

he has all the potential in the world, but just like DC, he will never see it come to fruition...
