Woodson: Smith must be "more of a pro"

New York Knicks coach Mike Woodson has told guard JR Smith that he's "got to be more of a pro" after making his comeback.

Smith has been involved in several transgressions both on and off the court this year which resulted in Woodson dropping him against the Miami Heat last Thursday.

"The bottom line is he's got to be more of a pro and do the right things and just concentrate on playing basketball," he said, ESPN reports.

The 29-year-old has played in the last two games after being dropped, as the Knicks have extended their winning streak to five games.
