Title: Is Terry Rozier the Celtics best guard?

It certainly looks that way.

Id list Jaylen Brown as a forward.

As such, Id say Rozier has a stranglehold on his spot as the team's third best guard.

I absolutely love me some Terry, and have since we drafted him, but no. Heck no, absolutely not.

Kyrie is 100%, no questions asked, indisputable, best guard on this team.

I think it is safe to say our best guard is Kyrie...

But disturbingly enough I might well consider him to be our 2nd best guard right now, battling it out with Smart for that spot. 

Smart so far has been as polarizing as ever...great D, strong rebounding, great hustle, improved 3pt shooting...but questionable shot selection and poor overall FG%. Thus far, Rozier has looked better to me.

For those out there who are super eager to make a splash, if Rozier keeps playing like this he might pair nicely with Al Horford in a potential Anthony Davis trade! :P

7-25 for Kyrie tonight.

Hasn't Kyrie only played 2 games for us? Or were there a ton of bad games he played for us that I missed that would cause him to drop to the second spot on our guard list?

As I said he should be the sg coming off the bench, at the minimal.  He needs to not be playing pg because he's too much of a ball hog.  Let him come off the bench and score off screens and such.

Rozier has ALWAYS been the Celtics best guard.

This is a very accurate representation. Knew the Chicken Little’s would be out after last night’s game.

Not just best guard, he is the best coach and interestingly, teams best cook and chainsaw juggler.

The improvement is evident in his first 2 games, but OP please don't just throw something like that out there and put him before KI and Smart.

Come on man. We're you saying that after the Cleveland game where he was pretty efficient a d had a double double?

It's one bad game.

Gotta love the over the top reactions after the 2nd loss of the season.

best guard?  must be joking or trying to make a point about Kyrie/Smart's performances but I can't tell.

I'll go as far as to say Rozier is definitely the most improved Celtic guard this season.  he looks like he's gotten to the point of being consistent positive when he's on the floor instead of a negative or loose cannon.

I love Rozier. He has always been a very active defender and is in the area for every loose ball - be it a rebound, deflection, errant pass, etc. There are two types of players out there: those who wait for the game to come to them and those who are always a part of the game. Rozier is the latter.

That being said, even though Rozier seems to have improved on his shooting and shot selection over the off-season, he still has a long way to go to reach Kyrie status in terms of offensive production. However, if he continues this upward trajectory and Smart gets offers in the upper teens or higher, DA and Stevens may feel a little more comfortable letting him go (if they have to - I don't want that to happen).

we need big things from rozier, tatum, brown and smart this year and i think we will get that.

I think all 3 guards (Kyrie, Smart, Rozier) have been pretty close to one another performance wise. Last night, Kyrie had such a stinker of a performance that there is a good case to be made that the other two guys have out-performed him so far.

Happy with Rozier's progress. Still a bit a wild / directionless at times but more efficient in his actions when he does make his mind up and is direct. Defense improved. Scoring off of drives has improved. Jump-shot has been falling. Good start.

So far:

1. Kyrie
2. Rozier
3. Smart

Marcus is trying to do too much, not really his fault, but he needs to play more within his skill set. For starters, stick to taking the 3's he is better equipped to make.

Let's let things settle in before coming up with serious rankings.

Yes.
Smart has been terrible. I love the guy, and he spent all summer working on his shooting, and he still stinks.

Yes, he is. Daniel Theis is our best overall player, followed by Aron Baynes and Nader. Terry Rozier is most definitely our best guard though.
