Terry Rozier

Continuing this scenario of Kemba not coming back, we will play out the scenario that the Hornets can’t land Rubio either, we are gonna go with “Scary Terry” as a possible free agent target of the Hornets.

After becoming a playoff darling in 2018 and averaging some of his best numbers for his career (11.3 points, 4.7 rebounds., and 2.9 assists.) and shot 38 percent from three, Rozier’s numbers took a hit when he returned to a bench role with the Boston Celtics (9 points, 2.9 assists, 3. rebounds).

Rozier showed flashes in 2018, especially during the Celtics playoff run that he is capable of leading the offense and showed a solid upward trajectory in terms of player development. If he remains unhappy with his role in Boston, it would be prudent for the Hornets to scoop him up.
