Former Louisville Cardinals star Terry Rozier started the season off extremely well, averaging 23.2 points and 6.6 assists on 45.9 percent shooting for the Hornets, even getting some shouts for All-Star consideration from media and fans.
His production naturally slipped a bit when he was traded midseason from Charlotte to the Miami Heat, however, which only makes sense since he was clearly the Hornets’ best player last season with Ball out injured. That was not the case in Miami, who don’t just have Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo in the starting lineup but another high-volume shot-taker in Tyler Herro, meaning Rozier had to adjust before he was able to get it going.
Ultimately, Rozier wasn’t able to do that as a tricky neck injury caused him to miss the majority of the end of the season. 2024-25 should be a better season for the 2015 draft pick, who is reportedly healthy and fully ready to go. With an entire offseason plus part of 2023-24 to adjust to his new team, we should see better play out of Miami’s starting point guard this upcoming campaign.

Giving up a first rounder for the 28th best PG, Pat Riley masterclass?

Current Marcus smart ahead of him is laughable

Mike Conley and Terry should both be higher. Wtf is cade Cunningham and lemelo doing in those spots besides missing the playoffs completely? IQ being above them is kin to slander. Or libel? Whatever. Libel and slander.
