i really thought smith had a better head on his shoulders, thats a massive disappointment

Agreed. His quote makes me think that he is mostly to blame too.

stripes what does this do to UT's season??

he was their unabashed leader and probable best player, this hits them hard.

can the team pick up the slack?

I'd take Chism anyday. Smith was never much of a leader. After the way Chism acted and played the other night against Charlotte he proved he was more of a leader than Smith ever was. The one thing losing Smith does is make the PG position even less spectacular. Smith wasn't a PG but played Poin Forward I guess you'd say and didn't turn the ball over alot.
