Not really.

And please, Markel Brown doesn't do half the things for OSU that Smart does.

He shoots better from all over the court and turns it over less.

Noted, but objectively he is. His antics really seem to have irked you.

Antics aside, Smart isn't a particularly good ball handler, can't really shoot and tries to play the hero far too often. All he really does on offense is bully into the lane and try to draw a foul, but he's not a particularly good FT shooter, either. Last night, he was 3-11 from 3. He has to know that he's not a good shooter and pull back from that. That's what a good PG does. It's the reason people lambaste Tharpe for taking shots he shouldn't be taking when he shouldn't be the one shooting them (although that has cooled a bit since he started hitting them).
He's very, very good on defense, though. I can't really criticize anything about his game there.
