Last night he looked absolutely lost out there.

Passed up open shots, bricked the ones he took, air-balled a layup I think, and on the defensive end didn't really help too much either.

Still think he becomes a solid rotation player in the future for us, but for now it will be a process. Patience is key.

Funny that people can be patient with Semi but not with Yabu who happens to be younger and higher ceiling with lesser experience.

He's a LeBron stopper. I'll be patient with his offense.

Yeah......no he is not. Kawhi Leonard is not a Lebron stopper. No one stops Lebron but Lebron.

Let's not go crazy because Stevens has put Semi on a few stars for a couple minutes in one game. Semi has potential but until he's on the floor for 30 minutes shutting down a star, let's not call him a stopper just yet.

Heck, he might not even be an NBA player just yet, nevermind a superstar stopper.

Sounds about right. Can’t wait to replace Semi’s minutes with Hayward lol

There is no Lebron stopper in the league.  When he wants to score, he does and nothing the current Celtics devise to slow him down works.  Semi does a decent job staying in front of him and he has 6 fouls to give but that's about it.  Offensively you're playing 4 on 5 when he's on the court.

Just a shout out to Semi for last night.

A critical three, then drawing an offensive foul, and getting a key rebound all in crunch time.

Good job!

Only blemish was the phantom foul called on him that almost lost the C's the game.  Terrible call.

Not only was it a phantom foul it should have been an offensive foul as Lillard clearly warded off Semi with his left hand. At worst it should have been a no call. The fact that they game him an "and one" on a play that was clearly an offensive foul is beyond me.

Plus the fact that he played effective man to man defense on at least three different positions. It is incredible how well he moves his feet laterally on defense.

I am very impressed with his D. Drafting sure has been better since CBS has had imput.
I think Semi play makes Smart even more expendable if he gets a big offer.

I like Semi. He has the potential to be a nice bench player, your 3-and-D type.

I like that he’s not afraid to let the 3 fly. He’s not hitting it like he could but he takes the shot when it’s there. His defense is getting better and can be great once he figures out the NBA pace.

I really enjoy his defense, but he need to figure out how to play on offense.  There's more than a 3 point line man and thank god that's the case if you can't even shoot 30%.

He has a ways to go, but maybe by next year (with more confidence/experience), he can become our next 3-and-D version of Crowder, coming off the bench.
