One player came off the bench and averaged 9.1 points in 23.2 minutes in 51 games.
Another player started and went for 19.7 points and 5.7 assists in 35.0 minutes in three games.
Yet another player came off the bench for eight games and averaged 14.3 points in 25.9 minutes.
All of these players are Terry Rozier.
The Celtics’ 6-foot-2 third-year guard seemed ready to step into a larger role this season after the trade of Avery Bradley, but there were some inconsistencies during that first 51 games that belied his talent.
Rozier still was moving catlike on defense and rebounding better than is expected from someone of his size, but it was impossible to escape the thought he could and should be making more of an impact with the ball than just his flashes of brilliance.
