Mr. Rondo

Rondo is not a go to scorer. He has never been. 

It also can't be Mr. invincible , Mr. Jeff Green

Gonna have to be one of them. At this point Rondo, Smart and Green are the only pplayers on our team who can create on their own. Maybe Marcus Thornton?

i seriously hope not.  KO and Smart have to pull through. Sully also has the capability. But i feel KO if he became a little more selfish, could be hard to stop.   Once he scores several in a row then flashes/mixes in his passing skills

Smart excelled last season in college vs top tier schools.  He really brought out his A game.  While other players are getting tired, Smarts focus starts to become sharper. His jump shot becomes more accurate and he will start barreling into the paint for layups/foul calls

I think there's a chance that Bradley continues to improve and takes that role at least some of the time.

Rondo can create assist but he is not an exceptional scorer.  The game plan vs Rondo is to lay off of him and let him beat you with the jump shot.

Green is mr inconsistent. 

Thornton is mr inconsistent part 2.

James Young = Mr Mystery. The kid can obviously score and plays with a higher intensity level as the game progresses. But likely won't make or have a chance to make much of a contribution next season

I agree. Lacking a true number one option and go to guy when the game is tight in the last quarter will lead to a lot of losses again.

In general the ball will probably go through Rondo, Green and Sullinger at the end of games. They are still the 3 best players on the team. Rondo is the only proven creator, Green will get hot 1 out of every 4 games and has the best physical tools, and Sully is the most crafty around the basket and has great hands.

there is a chance. In the 2nd half some games it seemed like he didn't miss a jump shot. Hard to shadow him also.

If KO is the go to guy in the fourth quarter, there is a very good chance we either have the first or second pick in next year's draft.

what?

KO has the package to be a good scorer. Efficient scorer.

I guess you missed the last 5-10 games of last season

U mean a good one?  We have none.  That's our #1 issue.  And #2 is a paint protector.

It was really more the last three games, one of which we lost to the 76ers....
