12/31/2015 D-League Update

[lantinm]

Mickey, Rozier, and Hunter were all assigned to Maine for today's game and none of them disappointed.

Mickey had a triple-double - 13 pts, 13 rbs, and a whopping 10 blocks!
R.J. dropped 28 on 10-19 shooting (6-12 from deep), had 7 assists and 5 rebs.  Only negative was 7 turnovers.
Rozier had 15 pts and 13 assists.  He turned it over 4 times.

I know that he's got 4 or 5 bigs in front of him, but Mickey needs some PT, imho.  Sullinger has mostly underwhelmed the last month, Lee has been inconsistent, Amir looks shot, Jerebko has been meh, and Zeller only seems to play spot minutes against certain lineups.  Mickey's jumpshot, face-up game, post-play, in addition to being able to run the floor like a gazelle and block shots, are all things this team sorely needs right now.  Anyway, Happy New Year to everyone on C's blog.

We definitely need to clear the PF logjam and get Mickey on the floor for some more seasoning.

and let's not forget that dleague all star luke harangody, who over two years averaged 19.7 points/g, 12.2 rebs/game, 1.5 assists/game and shot 40.8% from 3 point land. VERY similar to mickey's numbers.

let's sign this guy!!! 

i am not saying mickey is harangody. but i am saying that i trust CBS judgement that right now mickey's game will not substantially help the celtics and that mickey's development is best helped by being in the dleague.

we will all probably see lots of mickey next year. i can wait a little for him.

he has been productive during the time he was on the floor in C's games. Lead the NBA in nearly all PER 36 stats.

Ainge is not losing one minutes sleep over David Lee salary, nonetheless he probably enjoys late night snacks, as we all do...am i right sully?

If he missed one of those shots his PER would be way down.  It's really just an example of a small sample size that's not sustainable (obviously) and that literally means nothing

rj threw up some big numbers ,
looked at times like everyone was trying to impress danny
rj was winded at one point was that conditioning ,illness or a knock
rj hit for 28 points but i prefer seeing him play within a more organized offence and defence where his subtleties stand out
mickey just dominates at this level,his shot blocking timing is elite and needs to be tested at next level but danny and brad have had him in many practices and already know
rozier pretty much got to hoop when he wanted to,good chemistry with mickey
by the way omari johnson 6-9 can hit from deep, too bad he's 26
