... and still had an overall *negative* +/- because his offense is so bad.

Smart isn't a great shooter... but he has a way better A:TO ratio and he shoots something like 83-84% from the FT line. Dunn sadly has to work on more than his shot... otherwise it's hard to imagine a team giving him real playing time as anything other than "off the bench defensive specialist."
