His troubles began last season, while playing on a dreadful 18-64 team. With injuries, rebellious players and an influx of sub-par talent, Hornets coach Byron Scott had no choice but to let the then 19-year-old run wild on the court. . Smith admits that he came into this season complacent, big-headed and overconfident. Byron Scott claims that Smith hasn't improved since last season.</div> Source At least JR Smith is finally admitting he came into the season with the wrong attitude.

One hopes he can see what he could have in the future if he matures a bit. Playing with Chris Paul will be one hell of a ride, a ride that Smith may well miss if he doesn't pull his finger out and grow up a bit.
