It’s tough to find a more controversial figure on this list. There’s no denying that Smith has had a fine career and been part of a lot of wins. But he’s never been in that elite class that you’d expect from a first overall pick, especially since he’s never fared well in the playoffs. He’s still playing, so his legacy isn’t completely written yet. However, it’ll be tough to shake the perception that Smith is little more than average.
