Rozier

[jmen788]

I have no clue if he will be a big part of this team's future or ever amount to anything, but WOW is he fast! In NBA 2K he would have 'A+' for athleticism and speed... I honestly don't think I've seen someone faster in game.

He should have been a tailback with that first step

Reminds me of John Wall's speed, just not as big as wall.

Needs to bulk up just a little bit more and watch out.

Liked him in his spurts tonight. I think he can have an Avery Bradley esque NBA arch.

Avery Bradley isn't a bad NBA arch at all, but I actually think Rozier has more upside. I know this might sound crazy, but I think Rozier could be an all star. I just really love his skills.

I honestly have no clue on Rozier... I'm not sure if he will be a great shooter, but if he ends up being able to shoot, he could be legit.

rozier not only has bursts he elevates quickly both first and 2nd jumps
he needs to be taught and the have experiences to close like isaiah
entering the paint is one thing,surviving it another-
i can finally see what danny saw but rozier has relied his whole life living off that burst
he has so much to learn but he has high character and work ethic and he has the IT--
how he gets woven together will rest with brad and time
rozier should eat up summer league and come back a much more polished player next season
and maybe he will become bloodied during playoff experience

This is an excellent point.  The Crowder injury opened up some minutes for the kid and I'm hoping he's earned CBS trust, I know he's earned mine.  I could definitely see him having an impact in a playoff game or 2, which would be huge for him going forward.

not crazy at all. Bradley didn't really play to his potential until like...this year, after being 4-5 years in the league. Which is fine. Bradley didn't really contribute to the Celtics until his 2nd or 3rd year in the league and that was because Ray Allen got hurt. If Rozier is playing like this early on and is contributing this year as a rookie like what we saw yesterday, makes me optimistic for what is to come. Reminder that Bradley couldn't create his own shot nor drive with the ball his first year, it was all sneak cuts to the basket and some open 3s. Rozier has excellent speed, super super quick, not surprised that BS is using him in the absence of Jae Crowder. Though I am a bit confused as to why Zeller is still playing minutes and Mickey is not

Was disappointed he couldn't hit the 3 after the beautifully executed pnr

Hopefully his shot becomes consistent

Really like the way he plays. Really gets involved under the basket to try to grab rebounds. Really long wingspan

Isn't it as long as Rondo?

It's close. Rondo's wingspan is 6'9 while Rozier's is 6'8.

That is really close. 

Maybe Danny misses Rondo and hopes Rozier is the 2nd coming. Not as good of a passer but better scorer/shooter version

If Rozier becomes anywhere near as good as Rondo was/is, I think we will all be really excited as fans.

I've always believed in his talent.  great work ethic, doesn't take plays off and plays with a chip on his shoulder.

At UofL, it was his driving with reckless abandon and landing on the floor often that worried me.

His coach (who I will not name here) would warn him that he could become injury prone like Wade if he kept up his D-Wade mimicking style of throwing his body around and taking spills. By the end of last season, he had some nagging minor injuries but nothing concerning that rest couldn't heal.

Also, in college he was very professional and rarely whined or made excuses to refs or coaches. Even as a freshman coming off the bench
