Unless you believe Rozier has a high ceiling. Zeller and Jerebko fit the culture of the Nets but they have guys like that. Both those guys I think youd agree are pretty much maxed out ceiling wise.

Zeller for example isnt necessarily better than Booker. Its another body and if you give up Brook you definitely need another guy that can play C since Justin Hamilton is meh.

I think they want a #1 plus a guy with the potential to be decent.
Not even superstar level, but someone with the upside of potential upside of Caris Levert even if he never gets there.

Again I think Boston fans would argue that Rozier is in that class of player, but then there's redundancy with him and Levert.
