It's only preseason but Derrick Henry and Tajae Sharpe have both performed great in the 3 games thus far. Henry is the #3 ranked rusher while Sharpe is the #4 WR. Conklin has done a great job pass protecting / run blocking as the Titans have been great in the run game while keeping Mariota from...
Rozier played really solid when he came in for Bradley during the Hawks series which is where most of us Celtics fans are happy to see. Now he's played fantastic in summer league (out performing Kris Dunn fwiw) and now he's got a shot to really get extended minutes which will give him more reps...
I'd much rather have Jaylen Brown playing 20 minutes behind Crowder along side with Smart/Rozier playing backups over probably Jonas and Kris Dunn/Smart/Rozier struggling to find consistent minutes for those 3. People keep saying oh Rozier sucks blah blah blah but there is a reason why Boston...
Rozier is that dude. Speaks volume when he's getting PT in a playoff game is some big situations. Really looking forward to him getting some more minutes this season and finding a potential role.
Smh if people really think Ray was more important than KG. You must have really not watched the Celtics if you think so. He was our vocal leader , our defensive anchor, the heart of the team etc.
I'd like to see Smart drive / cut a lot more than what he has shown. If he can consistently get to the FT line that would be helpful. Again, he's 22 so there's still room to grow for him as a player.
It is what it is though. People will continue saying Cetics this Celtics that but no one expected Boston to do as well as they did this year. People just look at the individual player stats and say whatever they gotta say without really watching how well this team geld together and had a top 10...
A 22 year old defensive stud still on a rookie contract that's improving every year has no value? Mkayyyy. Smart would be the 1st/2nd guy off the bench for every single NBA team right now.
Well look at that --- his 3pt percentage has pretty much increased each year (aside from last season) -- I wonder why his numbers have gotten better!?!?
lol @ Marcus Smart having no value. At one point that was the verdict on Avery Bradley and now look at him being 1st team all defense. Please remember Smart is still 22 and still has room to improve. Smart is a very inconsistent and streaky shooter - but you know what trait he has that a lot of...
