In case you didn’t know…
Rozier was selected by the Celtics with the 16th overall pick in the 2015 NBA draft. During his five seasons with the team, Rozier has made nearly 300 appearances, although he has started just 30 times. During the 17-18 season, Rozier averaged 9.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game.
The heart of the matter
Rozier is a restricted free agent, so Boston has match rights on his next deal.

Ultimately, the Celtics have already lost the likes of Al Horford and Aron Baynes, and the team should be doing everything in their power to retain a promising young guard who has yet to reach his full potential.
What’s next?
NBA teams can contact free agents and their agents beginning on June 29 at 6 p.m. The official free agency window opens on June 30, although contracts can’t be officially signed until July 6.
