Impressed me vs the Lakers. Check out the highlights below

Absolute blur on the floor. The ability to go end to end like that is a very valuable tool.   I think he is quicker from one end to the other than IT.

Nice jump shot over the defender.  Still shaky and could be better but with several more reps it could be consistent.

Very good effort on the defensive end, and you can see how his quickness/long wingspan causes problems.

Outside of Rondo , Rozier could become a really good rebounding pg in the league.  Not only does he have the wingspan,  has excellent rebounding instincts

Can't be too upset with Rozier at 16 at this point

Still too early to tell, but I do have high hopes that he can be a solid contributor within the next year or two. I love the hustle and athleticism, but I do want to see him show more PG skills and develop a more consistent shot. Again, in time, but he's definitely still got a lot to prove.

tbh he is not  a pure pg. And I doubt he will ever be.  Scoring 1st just like IT. Wants to be the man with the final minute left in the game.  Just look at him in transition play, will never pass the ball even if they are open.  Drives me nuts

He is one of those classic sg in a pg body.

Eric Bledsoe.

I think he has a little more versatile offensive game, but probably not quite as explosive (although just as much speed/quickness).

I disagree.  Just as explosive

Eric Bledsoe is a nice comparison

Not for nothing Rozier was playing the Lakers.

I like what I've seen from Rozier lately, but I have been wondering: How is it that he started getting playing time almost overnight? Seems like he was glued to the bench outside the occasional garbage minute or two until a couple weeks ago, when he was suddenly inserted into the rotation.

My guess is that he had great practices, and played well in spot minutes while Crowder and Bradley were out. I think he has gained trust as a defender, and rebounder.

He got into the rotation when Crowder was out, and he played pretty well so Brad kept him into the rotation

well that remains to be seen.

Hes only played so much because AB and Turner have also missed games.

Never realized how much of a freak athlete he is before this recent stretch. Color me impressed.


Great words from a great man

We have guys out almost every game. He looks respectable when he fills in for them, so he is earning more minutes.
