Charlotte Hornets: Terry Rozier continues to have career season
Through the first twenty-one games of the season, the Charlotte Hornets have received a lot of production from Terry Rozier.
While the Charlotte Hornets sit with an 8-13 record, there is still a bright side to look at. One bright side of the current situation is the consistent and productive play from Terry Rozier.
This season is Rozier’s first year with the Hornets, and he’s making the most of the starting job that he received. Rozier spent the majority of his career with the Boston Celtics coming off the bench without a chance to be a consistent starter.
