For the first time in three years, the Celtics have benefited from a relatively consistent roster and a season without multiple injuries. That's put rookie development on hold, but they've been showing out in the D-League with flashes in the big league.
Last summer, I got a chance to see the rookies in Vegas and I was struck how each of them brought something different to the game, something that would separate them from the pack. Whether it was Mickey's ability to quickly react on defense, Rozier's speed off the dribble, or Hunter's outside shooting, they each had a skill they could rely on in the NBA.
