Terry Rozier — G, 6-1, 165
Freshman, 20 years old
Season (17.5 mpg): 6.6 PPG, 3.2 RPG, 1.8 APG
Game: 14 points, 2 steals, 0 assists
Outlook: This was my first time ever seeing Rozier play, at least in terms of “real minutes.” In 21 minutes off the bench, he scored 14 points (7-7 FT), and showcased potential as a big-time scorer.
Rozier seemed lost and out of control at times, struggling to process the game. But he’s only a freshman, and I expect he’ll adapt to the game faster than most.
He has a smooth jump shot, long arms, and his scoring gifts are already apparent. He has upside as a wing rebounder and perimeter defender. Once he develops his off-the-dribble game, Rozier could become very difficult to stop. He’ll most likely take over at PG next season, and he has the playmaking abilities to make it work. I’m not sure what kind of passer he is, but if Rozier can continue to grow and also add muscle to his frame, he should emerge on the Draft radar as early as next season. He could average 17-20 points per game next season.

Right now, Rozier struggles to finish at the rim. A lack of explosion and touch. Small sample size, but his .95 points per “around the basket” attempt ranks in the bottom 75th percentile nationally. Given his long arms and smooth handle, though, I think he’ll improve in this regard.
