I've read a lot of people blaming his Dallas coaches.

Smith ran like a gazelle, but Dallas tried to bulk him up and turn him into a more traditional post player. Which totally defeated the purpose of having a 6-10 guy who could run like that.
I don't think he would have been an all-time great or anything if only he'd played for a different team, but I do think he would have had a much more successful career if he had been drafted by a team that tried to cultivate the talents he had instead of turning him into something else.
