BOSTON - Terry Rozier’s game reached new heights this season.
For someone who can put points on the board in a hurry, Rozier has become a reliable scorer for Brad Stevens. He can finish strong at the rim, score from the perimeter and produce off the dribble.
Rozier has even improved defensively, averaging one steal per game while pulling down 4.4 rebounds a night. He can certainly stuff a stat sheet for a guy who plays 23 minutes a night; a prominent second-unit role that he earned this year due to his refined play of late.
One of the biggest reasons for Rozier’s newfound confidence has been the acquisition of Kyrie Irving, someone Rozier referred to as a mentor to him and a guy who he wouldn’t replace for anyone else to lead a relatively young Celtics team.
