https://youtu.be/OIz2s40bjL0 The Dennis Smith Jr. redemption tour continues! There’s a reason that Mavericks fans were really hyped for this dude as a potential franchise cornerstone, and it wasn’t just because they were displaying the overvaluation of their team’s own prospects typical of NBA fandom! Actually, that was a major part of it, probably the major-est…

Dennis Smith Jr. 17 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/26/2021)
https://youtu.be/f4xwaqebyuI The “Dennis Smith Jr. Will Be An All-Star” ship has sailed, right? That ship sailed right out into the open seas with nobody on it except the corpse of a dude named “Captain Stumpy” and a bunch of ship cats. Nobody is holding out hope that DSJ will morph into a star-level player. Right…
Read MoreDennis Smith Jr. 15 Points/5 Assists/7 Steals Full Highlights (2/24/2020)
I always complain when I have to include a player’s steals in a highlight video. Always. The complaining is like the never-ending wails of my kitty Japurri Purrker when I get distracted by highlight videos and forget to feed him. I complain as much as I do because steals in the NBA are considerably more…

This is just the second “good” game from Dennis Smith Jr. this season, and that’s with my bar for a “good” game adjusted to be much lower for him that it is for many other young players of his pedigree. Maybe we’ll look back on this game as the beginning of DSJ’s redemption tour, or…

Dennis Smith Jr. wasn’t on my exclusion list (the list of players too good for my channel) to start last year, but a handful of good performances right at the beginning of the season quickly put him there. I figured, as any sane person would, that he was quickly improving on an already pretty-good rookie…

After getting double-digit assists in just one game this year with the Mavericks (thanks to a certain SLOVENIAN who shall remain unnamed but whose name rhymes with Pooka Non-Bitch), Dennis Smith Jr. has already gotten double-digit assists for his new team, the Knicks. Hopefully this isn’t just Reggie Jackson where he balls out for a…

Dennis Smith Jr. would have had a lot more points if he could just hit free throws. He went 11 of 19, which is unacceptable for a guard. After detailed frame-by-frame analysis of each one of his attempts, both makes and misses, I think I have determined what’s wrong with his free throws and will…

Behold: a new era of Knicks basketball! This one is for real this time. If you didn’t like the Toney Douglas era, the Toure’ Murry era, the Langston Galloway era, the Jimmer Fredette era, the Sasha Vujacic era, or the Ron Baker era, fear not! This new Dennis Smith Jr. era will be way better…

Attention Wojarooski: you have to wait until DownToBuck is done uploading videos for the day before breaking the news of a blockbuster trade involving many good players. Otherwise we find ourselves in the awful situation we currently find ourselves in: a video getting uploaded for a player who is no longer on the team depicted…

I’m just noticing a heretofore un-noticed hitch in Dennis Smith Jr.’s free throw shooting motion. It’s almost like Chuck Hayes, obviously not as bad, but he sort of pauses and turns his wrist a little bit right before he lets it go. Has he always done this? Am I just being dumb for not realizing…
