Smart is a rugged, fiery personality who leaves everything out on the floor and was a former Defensive Player of the Year. He brings that grit and provides advice as well. “I was struggling a little bit on the off-ball screens and he’s been talking to me, giving me tips — how to get to the body, how to be physical without fouling,” Coulibaly said. “He’s been teaching me a lot. I mean, just putting pressure on the guys without fouling. I was fouling too much, putting both hands on the players, and he gave me a couple tips, so I’m way better now.” -via Responsible Gaming / March 11, 2025
