Memo to Danny Ainge and Brad Stevens: It's time to see what the kids can do (and here's the plan)

The NBA trade deadline has come and gone. At this point, the Celtics roster is what it is (with the possible exception of adding another body to fill David Lee's spot). There are four unproven and untested young players on the team: RJ Hunter (22), Terry Rozier (21), Jordan Mickey (21) and James Young (20)--the kids.

It's time to see what the kids can do.

Boston has already played 57 games (33-24) this season, meaning it has just 25 remaining. That's 25 games to find out if any of these guys might one day be important pieces of the puzzle.
