Terry Rozier is one of the most significantly underrated players in recent memory. This season he is averaging 23 points, 7 assists, and 3.5 rebounds per game. He’s doing this at 48.3 FG%, and 40.4 3PT%. To put that into perspective, Jaylen Brown, an All-NBA player, is averaging less in every aforementioned statistic on worse efficiency. Rozier has been spectacular this season!
So far this season he is third in total points scored in ‘clutch time’, behind only Giannis Antetokounmpo and De'aaron Fox. What stands about Rozier is that he is only making $23 million a year for the next 3 years, almost less than a third of Giannis' contract, and half of Fox's. His contract and his experience with contending teams (Boston Celtics) will have a lot of teams clamoring to acquire him.
So what teams may be after his services? I could very well see a team such as the Miami Heat. They are a team that is sitting around the Play-In Tournament and is subsequently lacking consistent offensive firepower.
He also slots in perfectly to each of their identities. Each team shoots plenty of threes, and are above average on three-point makes per game. Unfortunately, they struggle to make them, with the Heat in the bottom half of the league in three-point percentage. This is due to a lack of creation and playmaking on each of these teams.
That's what Terry Rozier brings; off the bench, his scoring draws double and triple teams, allowing free-flowing, off-ball movement for the rest of the playing group.
A deal such as Terry Rozier and James Bouknight for Kyle Lowry, Thomas Bryant, Nikola Jovic, and draft capital would likely be agreeable for both sides.
