He shot 46.5 percent from the field and 30.3 percent from beyond the arc but regressed noticeably at the charity stripe (63.0 percent in 2011-12; 51.7 percent this season). At 27 years old, Smith is in the prime of his career and ranks among the league's elite forwards. As an unrestricted free agent this offseason, he'll draw plenty of interest and will likely seek a long-term, maximum contract. The Hawks could be the team to offer him that deal, but it appears they will first try their luck in acquiring Chris Paul and/or Dwight Howard.","date":"Mon Jun 17"},"fullName":"Josh Smith","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Our projections are actually conservative for what J-Smoove could offer this season -- and that says a lot. He's a physical freak entering his physical prime (age 26), Joe Johnson is out of town and Smith will be an unrestricted free agent at season's end. In short, the sky's the limit. This is a guy who averages 2.9 blocks per game and shoots 50.1 percent from the field; plus, last year he averaged 23.9 points, 10.1 boards, 4.5 dimes, 1.5 steals and 1.4 blocks in 19 games in January. This season, expect Smith to come in with an agenda to dominate -- and for Atlanta coach Larry Drew to ride him hard while he's still there. Smoove is on the short list of ballers you can get in the second round who could finish as a top-five fantasy player.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Oct 10"},"playerRater30DAY":4.8,"playerRater15DAY":2.4,"positionRank":13}
