Is Rozier getting close to unreadable??

Lol meant tradabl
Try not to get too excited until you see him do it for over 11 games in the regular season. That's usually how much time it takes for scouting to catch up to surprising play. I remember when delonte west shot like 65% from three for a full month and I started wondering if he could be the best shooter in the world.  I'll try to stay cautiously optimistic with Rozier.
Dont you think he would have to fall apart from the pressure at this point to not succeed?

The skills he has are smacking us right in the face. I only see him not being the player we see if he lets the pressure get to him or doesn't feel the confidence to carve out a role away from a more established player.
there has been instances of players who flourish in preseason and struggle in the regular season.  Hopefully that doesn't happen with Rozier. The shooting looks outstanding right now.

The shooting will obviously come down back to Earth a bit. The real question is going to be is if he can integrate his play with our other main guys and not rely so much on iso ball and penetration to score.
Why can't he carve out a role doing what he's good at?

Because he'll only be out there in limited minutes with this type of grouping where he's obviously the number one option. Bradley, IT, and Smart will all play nearly 30 minutes a game in differing lineups, so he'll have to learn to function off of those other guys and still be effective offensively, which he hasn't hardly played with in preseason. As long as his shooting keeps up, he shouldn't have a problem with it. But IT is already ball-dominant enough that he'll need to learn to play off the ball for times when he plays with him, among others.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

With his quickness he should benefit from being out there with other floor spacers. I don't have the same concerns that you do that he can't play with those guys.

Oh no
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Oh, just a sprained ankle. At least he'll have a week to recover before opening night.

That's one of the drawbacks with his physical style of play - those types of things happen more often.

Man it's like he only gets hurt when it looks like he's about to break out. Sheesh.
