A lot of it depends on role, too, though. Romeo came out of college as a guy who was the focal point of an offense. He always had the ball in his hands, he was a primary shot creator, and not much of an outside shooter. There's upside there, but his skills were never going to immediately translate to the NBA level, especially on a team like last year's Celtics where shot creation responsibilities fell to much better options. There was and will continue to be an adjustment for him to being an off-ball player and getting used to his fit in the Cs offense.
Nesmith's skills translate to a much more defined role. He just needs to shoot open 3s and attack the occasional closeout. From what I understand, that's what he did at college, so the learning curve won't be as steep. I'm way more bullish on Nesmith finding a groove as a rookie because the assignment will be simple for him and play to the things he already excels out (caveat being he'll need to be a plus on D like Romeo).
