Boston Celtics: 3 Players that disappointed this season

#2 Marcus Smart

Marcus Smart missed the end of the regular season and Round 1 due to injury.

Marcus Smart participated in 80 matchups wearing a Celtics uniform this season and averaged 8.9 points per game - his lowest scoring average since his rookie year. The Celtics expected way more production out of a player who started in 60 games along the season and gets over 25 minutes of playing time per game.

Smart returned in the second round of the playoffs after a left oblique tear kept him out of basketball action down the stretch. In his two postseason games this year against the Bucks, the 25-year-old averaged a miserable 3.5 points per game on a combined 1-of-11 shooting. He couldn't provide the spark his team needed to topple the newest superpower in the East.

Moreover, the Celtics relied on Smart to conjure the emotional dynamic shift in a team that has been divided all year along. Sadly, Smart couldn't overcome the turbulent winds that the past season brought with it.
