Marcus Smart led OSU to success on the hardwood, but what if he played in Boone Pickens Stadium instead?

Oklahoma State has produced plenty of NFL talent, but they usually don’t play in Gallagher-Iba Arena.

The former Boston Celtics and Oklahoma City Thunder big man did not give much insight on how Smart could succeed in the NFL. However, Perkins had confidence in Smart to take on any challenge.That energy is evident to anyone who has watched Smart in the NBA, but that approach was also apparent in his two seasons in Stillwater. Smart averaged 16.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.9 steals across 64 games at OSU.

Smart spent the first nine seasons of his NBA career with the Celtics, making the playoffs every year. In Boston, the former Cowboy won the 2021-22 Defensive Player of the Year and helped his team to an NBA Finals appearance.
