Celtics: Rookies Will Have Pressure to Produce Right Away

The Boston Celtics added three rookies to their roster last season, and none had a significant role until the playoffs. R.J. Hunter saw minutes early in the season but quickly fell out of the rotation. He later rejoined the rotation in the playoffs due to injuries to key players.

Terry Rozier, the Celtics’ first selection last year, finally became a consistent member of the rotation near the end of the season. He ended up averaging 19.8 minutes per game in the playoffs, however, it would have been closer to the eight minute average he saw in the regular season if Avery Bradley didn’t go down with an injury.
