With an injury to Smart Peyton didn't start but he played 32 minutes and used them well. He showed up with 23 points, 8 assists and a pair of rebounds. He earned a post game interview seat and a replay of his high school "running Man" video which is going to earn a lot more viewing. I'm not sure he played great defense but all I was able to watch were a series of highlights. He was in a lot of them on both ends of the court.

What I saw was more of his ability to score, albeit against a 1-5 Tampa Bay Raptors team, in the paint. He took intelligent shots, not forcing them, and made several including nice hook shot when it looked like he was going to pass the ball.

He's not doing bad for being Boston's second first round pick down the ladder where a lot of picks don't do much in the way of a career in the league.

There is a lot of noise about him in post game shows and fandom out here in New England and the ROY award is already in it, though it is pretty early for that kind of speculation. P Rabbit is catching on as a nickname and the supply is way behind demand for his souvenir jersey.
