Output in context · Las Vegas Lights finished 12th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
- Defensive volume. 3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 28.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 30.8, Smart carries the 4th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the USL Championship of 56 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
