10. J.R. Smith

Little makes sense about J.R. Smith’s game. It seems that he missed all the easy shots and hits all the difficult shots. But that’s what makes him special. He simply doesn’t know any better at times. It also makes him extremely difficult to defend.

Smith hasn’t exactly lit up the scoring column thus far in the playoffs, but he’s been extremely efficient. And for a player like Smith, who is usually only measured in the amount of three-pointers made in a specific game, that’s huge.

Through the first three rounds in the playoffs, Smith is shooting 45 percent from distance. That’s insanely good, considering that Smith almost strictly stays on the perimeter.
