Thanks for doing the breakdown on Nader/Rozier stats....TP, sir.
Both very different players obviously, but, Nader has only gotten steady minutes over the last what? Four weeks? I suggest it takes time to gain something close to the confidence needed for a player to execute "his game."
Nader is an outside shooter with slasher skills. He is not a great defender, but, with time could be average in the league as he has size.
His handles are "poor to fair with upside", but, he ain't no Kyrie Irving.
Ultimately, he comes in and shoots threes and makes a couple of drives while hustling back on defense and being an "evergy guy."
Occasionally, once established as a rotation player, Nader will "have a big game" and be king of the bench for the night.
If Ainge has his contract right? Nader stays and gets minutes during injury plagues and on back to backs.
Rozier has made his rookie money on defensive hustle an rebounding. Nader has to avoid missing 16 freaking foul shots in a freaking row...but, ulitmately has a chance as a bencher in Boston because the Celtics can't score and Abdel can...one of these days maybe sorta.
I feel better now as I've been nauseous sibnce watching him miss more foul shots in two minutes than any other player in NBA history. Let's just say that he's gotten that out of the way and can move on.
