Terry Rozier is a really talented player that the Hornets acquired this past offseason and his stats can be scary for opponents. Rozier has been effective on the offensive side of the ball and is fairly solid on defense where he averaged one steal a game last season.
Terry Rozier’s scariest stat has to be the increase in scoring from the Celtics to the Hornets
Now this may be obvious since he was a bench player for the Celtics but for a player to average about ten more points per game in their first season as a start, is quite a feat. Rozier’s minutes only jumped about a dozen minutes per game and to average another ten points in uber impressive.
Rozier’s shooting percentages shot up by about four more percent but that usually happens with a player gets more touches on the ball. The better shooting percentage can be from Rozier being put into a starting role and getting more comfortable as an offensive threat.
Rozier’s two-point attempts actually doubled between his time in Boston and his time in Charlotte and added about two more three-point attempts per game on as well.
I know the attention on the roster was on Graham for the ‘Most Improved’ title but Rozier should have really gotten a second look. The fact that Rozier’s scoring increased by so much in just one season should terrify teams because as a starter he may do nothing but improve more and more as a starter, leader and scorer.
