Plus I think if it came down to Clarke vs MJ, I'd be willing to bet they go with the mediocre vet vs saving a few million with Clarke who himself is entering the last year of his contract.
I'd take Clarke over MJ though. But I'd take Smith over both.
Much agreed on the bold.
I just think that the fact he surpassed Hunt after just 1 year, then was given more rotation snaps last year, shouldn't be overlooked; again, he didn't embarass himself out there in '16.
But yes, Smith should be on the team.
Edit: Yes, I know surpassing Hunt isn't a difficult thing :p. But he was a Zimmer guy! Still his fault!
