As mentioned before in a post making the case for Stevens as the clear choice for this season’s Coach of the Year, Boston’s unlikely success has come from young players stepping into bigger roles and producing. Terry Rozier has replaced the injured Kyrie Irving beautifully over the past few weeks, averaging over 18 points, six rebounds and about five assists as a starter. Marcus Morris is putting up 19.3 points per game over his last ten games, while reserves like Shane Larkin and Semi Ojeleye have produced at a high level off the bench.
