Does Rozier have a higher ceiling than AB or Smart?

AB is pretty much what he is, a 3+D guy for a contender. Marcus has better playmaking ability, but is not much of a threat from outside.

I think Smart is more likely to stay just from what they are both going to get for their next contract.

I think rozier can do everything Bradley does, plus has a handle and play making ability. Maybe not all NBA defense, but he appears to be a solid defender.

So who has the highest ceiling of those 3?

Probs Terry.

I am looking forward to TR learning how to finish more consistently at the rim.  Seems like he can get to the rack at will, but conversion rate needs to be better.  Sometimes I think I am seeing him release his layup further away from the rim than it should be.  Not saying he is afraid of contact, just hoping with more experience he will learn to absorb the contact, make the micro adjustment and still hit the basket and then get to the line.

I know....easy for me to suggest this from my keyboard,  much harder for Terry going against the best players in the world.

Smart.

Imagine how good he would be if he learned to shoot the ball at a better rate.

But I think that it's a close race between him and Rozier.

I agree with this. Smart's playmaking, defense, and leadership abilities are way up there. If he ever developed a reliable outside shot and could finish around the rim more consistently, he'd have Draymond Green level value.

Rozier is still a physical freak with shooting and defensive upside but I don't see him ever being an all star caliber anything. Of course, I hope I'm wrong.

Bradley. All-NBA defense, 16 points, 6 rebounds and 39% 3PT%.

I don't think Smart or Terry sniff those numbers.
