You don't see Marvin down in the paint where Smoove should be. The perimeter should be Bibby, JJ, and Marvin, with Smoove (or Chillz if he is in the game) and Al down low. Pay attention to the game and you will see Marvin defer to Smoove and you will also see Smoove take shots that he shouldn't instead of passing to an open Marvin. It's the exact same way that Harrington used to treat Smoove. Maybe he is just paying it forward or something, I don't know.
Key Word... Where Smoove "SHOULD BE". That's my point, when AL left, we lost our post presence from the forward position. Smoove nor Marvin has acquainted themselves in the post the way that Al was there. Therefore, I think Marvin is hindering Smoove's growth as a Sf because Smoove is not a PF.. not by play.
You are right Smoove is not a PF, but he is not a SF either. Smoove is a tweener so you play him by the matchups not by the position. Smoove can play some SF but more PF. Marvin can play SF and that's it. Smoove is a better player, but Marvin is a better SF. Harrington is a chucker that plays no defense.
End of story!
