Smith was, of course, very humble about this well-deserved honor and gave all the credit to Coach Ruskowski and the guys he's played alongside this season, while Ruskowski gave most of the credit for finding the kid to his scout.
I have repeated Smith's numbers over and over again (Plus, I need something to actually put in the paper.), so I'm not going to go too much into detail right now.
But, it should be told, that after handing out two helpers last night, Smith leads the league's rookies with 36 goals and 33 assists for 69 points. Don't be surprised if that number changes a couple more times before the regular season ends...or if he manages to surpass IR-bound Brent Cullaton for the Bucks' season lead.
This is unrelated to Smith, but it's kind of crazy that Sebastien Thinel is 13 points ahead of his closest competition for the overall league points lead but still under 100, whereas three players, including MVP Jeff Bes, broke the century mark last season.
Anyway, congrats to Smith, and just for kicks, here is that picture of him, probably my favorite Bucks photo we've ever had, one more time:
