Comparing Smith to Howard defensively is not fair. Howard defends more on the perimeter than Smith does.
As far as all around play, it's not even close. Smith could close the gap eventually, but his game isn't near Howard's right now.

The wind rises electric. She's soft and warm and almost weightless. Her perfume is sweet promise that brings tears to my eyes. I tell her that everything will be all right; that I'll save her from whatever she's scared and take her far far away. I tell her that I love her. The silencer makes a whisper of the gunshot. I hold her close until she's gone. I'll never know what she was running from. I'll cash her check in the morning.
