    Yeah, Smith ain't on the All-Rookie team yet, but he will if he continues at this pace.

    Josh Smith did well to make the Got Milk? Rookie squad. Many thougt that he would be another High Schooler who would take a few seasons to develop. But he has quickly picked up the starting role for Atlanta and is making an impact in his rookie season.
