He's not only more talented, he's just better at basketball. I could show you all the stats that support that, but I think that's pretty obvious to anybody that's watched the two play. Ennis is very good, but Smart is just a different kind of impact player (primarily due to his exceptional D).

As much as you want to ignore it, the suspension, the tirades... that all factors in when you are the captain of the ship.

I don't ignore it, but a suspension doesn't factor into it from me when talking better PGs/basketball players. Maybe there's some negative intangible quality to having a guy with a short fuse as your "leader" but I tend to believe Smart's unrivaled energy level and competitiveness helped drive that team more often than not. They certainly don't make the tournament without him this year, that's for sure.
