mickey,rozier and rj vs winslow

[rollie mass]

i think rj could actually make the earliest impact-
he is a shooter with range and off dribble or spot up- with his height and length and quick release i believe that skill set is the easiest transition to nba-
winslow is going to have to adjust to size and athletic bigs-his strength and size in college was overpowering not  when he steps up in real time-
another advantage for rj is how he takes what is given and adapts,he doesn't and never has had ability to overpower-so his tools are strengths that translate timing,deception,playing off teamates and range too spread court and then that omg deep range-

To light? He's already 242 pounds and he's a rookie he's got a 74 wingspan but the most important thing is he leaves the ground like a bolt of lightning that's the hard thing to find he'll be fine is a big man .

I'm surprised....242 pounds.  Saw him once in person.  He didn't seem that big.

Rozier has "NBA - READY defense" already,  which is usually a good way to get playing time early.

Not to disagree with you, but is there such a thing as NBA defense when it comes to guards driving to the hoop?  Seems with the advent of the no-hand-checking rule players can drive toward the basket at will.  Then, throw themselves into the guarding player and either draw a foul and/or get a free path to the basket.  (I'm presuming there isn't any player near the rim protecting it.)

rozier has it the toughest ,to adust to nba pace of game ,speed of guards and to run a nba offence-i'm glad isiah is there to teach him how to absorb going to rim against bigs-mickey will be okay with that bounce and length and before season starts he might put on some bulk along with rj
-if rj is open he will take it ,he will draw fouls like isiah,he will catch and shoot  and use pump fake penetrate and find open man-
gi gi defense was poor last year but he could shoot -so can rj
,unlike young rj's been a main scorer from outside for a long time-he was known as a shooter not just his stroke but he put points on the board-
