Wow, looks like Aaron Nesmith also earned a spot on the “Hustle Award Top Five Finishers” (whatever tf that means)

This only been an award for 7 years and he already has 3 lol
So rare for a top-pick to hustle and do all the little things like he does

Smart doesn’t just excel in hustle plays usually dominated by guards — he’s also ready to mix it up with the big men to battle for rebound position. Smart ranked 31st overall and first among guards in box outs per game as the Celtics secured the rebound on 96.5% of Smart’s box outs (even though Smart only secured the rebound 19.3% of the time on his box outs). The willingness to clear space in order for a teammate to secure a rebound for the team is a perfect example of a hustle play.
Another hustle stat usually dominated by centers and power forwards are screen assists: screens that lead directly to a made shot by a teammate. Smart ranked 37th overall and second among guards (trailing only teammate Jayson Tatum) in screen assists per game. Smart uses all of his 6-foot-4, 220-pound frame to help free up his teammates for open looks, helping Boston finish tied for fourth in efficiency in pick-and-roll ball handler plays at 0.96 points per possession.
