Rozier held the ball too long there after the play didn't develop, but a nice jumper.
Conflicted about RJ. Dude has a very quick trigger, which on the one hand tells you that he knows what his role is and how he's going to make it in this league. On the other hand, he's shooting a very low percentage through two games, albeit in short minutes. Kinda seems like he needs to find other ways to contribute and pick his spots a bit more.
Let's just remember that Ainge drafted three guys who spent multiple years in college and they're all 21 years old. They each have some real skills, but how much room they have to grow and whether they can be more than limited role players at this level remains to be seen.Also they're playing against a bunch of dudes who probably wouldn't even hold down a roster spot in the NBA.

Shot terribly and put up pretty mediocre stats considering his college pedigree. I expect very little from the rookies this year. All of them will be D-Leaguing.

I didn't get why people were so negative about the move. Seemed to me, he was instantly the best player on the team. Precisely because he might be the best player on that team . . . and that tells you something about where the team is at. Kind of strange to be giving big minutes to veterans at this point in the rebuild, considering where the team is at talent-wise.But with the Nets and Mavs picks owed to us this year, we might be able to fight for respectability in the middle of the pack this year and still get rewarded with the talent we need in the draft.Yeah i get it... fans not liking the idea of making moves that plant us firmly in the middle. But this team seemed to make a commitment to mediocrity in the middle of last season and unless we stumble out of the gate (pushing us into tank mode), I figure we'll continue to have that mentality. We made moves this offseason that might take this 35-40 win team into the 40-45 win territory.

It's pretty well documented.
Smart with a game today more like what he did last year. 1-6, 7 pts 5 ast with 5 fouls. 0-2 from deep. But he did get to the line 6 times.

All 3 have a shot with their talents.
