Was Josh Smith the prototype for modern PF's???

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

Super Athletic tweener PF who was a very good defender , could switch decently , wasn't afraid to shoot threes (although not that great at them ala Draymond Green) .... Was an excellent passer and very good rebounder for his height . Impact defender and was versatile on offense (actually had some decent moves on the block and didn't just rely on his athletic ability)

He wasnt good at shooting 3s, so no. He was not a floor spacer.

 

[KillbertArenas]

No.

Chris Webber owns this honor.

Gerald Wallace was the better player

 

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

Nah

 

[75 Others]

Gerald Wallace was the better player

That's a little too far

I'm not talking about stretch 4's , talking more so about Draymond green types

 

[William F. Russell]

No because he couldn't shoot for shyt whereas the prototypical modern PF has to have the ability to stretch the floor and hit 3-pointers and also be able to facilitate half-court offenses at times.

Osh Smith was anything but.

Draymond and Josh Smith have nothing in common besides they are both black men

Not as far-fetched as it sounds.

Crash was an all-star at one point in his career and was very underrated (before age and injuries took their toll).

Osh Smith was hit or miss, hot and cold. He couldn't put his game together and he never became an all-star despite being one of the Hawks' better players.

Draymond really isn't a great three point shooter either , his percentages are high because he plays with 2 of the greatest shooters of all time
