I want Rozier back. His frenetic style combines with his ability to get hot would help the offense greatly. I’d want to start him too. But im not sure how smart fits into that.
As it turns out, keeping him and passing on Kemba was probably the better move. However...there would still be the problem of your volume shooting guard not getting the ball to your 2 best players. He can stay in Charlotte.
This was massively overblown when Rozier was here
Rozier shared the ball plenty when he was in Boston. If anything he actually seemed to have outstanding chemistry with smart, Brown, Tatum and horford. Those guys all seemed to play off each other very well.
There were times when Rozier's shot selection could have been better, but he was also a young player who didn't get a good amount of opportunity and was probably easier to prove his worth.
Seems like that's improved now in Charlotte since this year he averaged 20 PPG on 45% / 39% / 82% which are very good numbers for an NBA PG.
Rozier has also been a more steady then people give him credit for. He's consistently had very low turnover rates his entire career - below 10% every year except two.
Even least year when he had the highest usage rate of his career, his turnover rate was below 10%. Smart y comparison has an average turnover rate of 15% and his lowest ever was 11.7% in his second year. The Celtics could use that type of stability with the ball, the team was far too turnover prone least season.
