This year’s best defender explained how he goes about working on the defensive end before he works on the offensive end. “I watch film with the team and then I start watching film on individual matchups that I could be possibly starting on,” Smart told Yahoo Sports. “I watch film by myself for at least an hour and a half. I just try to look at their tendencies. I try to look at what they do best. I try to look at what they don’t do, what they would like to do and what they really don’t do so much. It’s similar to an offensive player looking at the defenses and how they’re going to play them defensively. I do the same. You want to know how they’re going to play you offensively and how you need to play them. But Jimmy’s a good player. I’ve got my work cut out.”
