The second unit has been crucial to the Boston Celtics‘ success over the last couple years and Evan Turner did a phenomenal job running the point with that unit last year. With Turner now out of the picture, it is time for one of the young guards to step up and take over that role and right now it should come down to Marcus Smart or Terry Rozier.
Smart’s experience gives him a distinct advantage, but his struggles on the offensive end are concerning. Smart is likely going to get his opportunity to play with the ball in his hands, but after the progress Rozier appears to be making since his rookie season, he will be on a short leash.
