J.R. Smith, swinging shooting guard

Thanks to Dime Magazine smack section, we have this beauty from Nuggets shooting guard J.R. Smith on practice. I see why he is on his third team at age 21.

From everything we’ve seen and read, the Nuggets are aching to simply hand J.R. Smith the starting two-guard spot, but they can’t just dismiss his struggles with defense and work ethic. Yesterday J.R. told the Rocky Mountain News that George Karl wants him to “be serious” about practice by showing up early. Smith says he’s trying, but also told the paper, “I’m not really a morning person.”
