I personally think he is one of the best players on the team.  How are we going to play all these guys? Mickey and Hunter are also very good.  With the amount of draft picks we have coming up something has to give.

  • A true Celtic plays with heart.

Good.

Pump up their trade value.

With our roster being so full and competitive, and all the picks we have - DA just needs the right trade. Rozier can help that by playing well. If he plays well enough that others becomes surplus to needs, all the better for our trade prospects. I don't want to get carried away before an NBA game has been played though. Right now I will be happy if he is comfortable playing in the NBA in the CBS system.

Thus far Rozier has not only never played in a real NBA game, he hasn't even played in an NBA preseason game against even a fairly good NBA team. So let's pump the brakes on these proclamations.

If he was 6 '3 he'd been a lottery pick

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
lets hope he becomes the lovechild of John Wall and Dwayne Wade with a better jumpshot than both.
Very similar styles.

Read that last line again. One more time.

He's 6'2" in NBA-speak as it is, which is plenty enough for his PG position--especially considering his length and strength.

What's the point of after-the-fact proclamations? The time to make them is before they've been proven true.

Fair enough generally speaking.

But I'm arguing that there's not enough evidence to make any sort of proclamation.  Thus, I'd say if the OP ends up being right, he's more lucky than anything else. 

There's just been so many players over the years that have looked good in the summer league, preseason, and even at times at the beginning of the season, and then just flamed out.  And given that the OP's proclamation is that Rozier is "too good not to play" and not that "he will be a good player some day," it seems like way too much of an overstatement based on way too little evidence.
