Good assessment:

Nice to see the kids, particularly Rozier, play so well in the 4th quarter.

Thing is, you WANT a player to be able to take one or two dribbles inside the line when the 3 is challenged - it's about recognition and selection, not either-or


Fair enough, but you also don't want him to be Kenny Anderson and always come in for a long 2. You may tolerate it if he has the rest of Kenny Anderson's skills, but it's not what you want.

IDK. 7 pts in 6 mins.

he's shooting well but those running floaters way outside of the restricted area peeve me



Personally I love that kind of shot. I always wanted Rondo to develop a better floater, and I wish more guards would do it.

i wouldn't mind it if he made it a high clip, but from everything i've read that shot was a big reason he wasn't a great finisher even though he could penetrate decently.

Yeah, he should hold off on it if he can't develop it effectively, but let's see what he can do over the next year or two. I hope he can do it, because I love the shot. I think it may have value even if it is a low percentage shot. Defenses will have to respect it to an extent if it is apart of his game, no (even at lower percentages)? I just like that we have guards who are willing to take shots now haha.

Watching these first two preseason games you really now get a feel for how important it is in having high IQ players to run CBS' read-and-react offense. Know when to set the pick or re-set it; knowing when to cut. All 5 guys need to know how to read the floor. During the summer Ainge talked about not just bringing the best players but the "right" players in and you can see why. Some players are gonna fit Stevens' system better than others.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Getting traded would flatter Young greatly. He's more on the Fab Melo career path.

Came into the league unable to do anything productive, will leave the league the same way.
