Yeah Roddy definitely needs to see some floor time. He looked about on par with Jennings in the summer league, if not better, but Jennings is having some early success so far. The only difference up to this point is Jennings has been given significant minutes while Roddy hasn't gotten anything.
Also, everytime Roddy is in the game he looks like he can beat just about anyone who's guarding him. Almost makes it look a little too easy so then he pulls himself back to try to get others involved. Carlisle just needs to let the young man have the green light on driving the lane and as the other team begins to clamp down on him harder it'll open up more natural opportunities for him to get others involved instead of trying to force it.
