Not a terrible comp. Its just so hard with rozier due to our lack of truly seeing his game.
I would say he is a worse shooting barbosa that is better at driving. Also a better defensive game. I would be happy with that.
i disagree. Barbosa nickname is blur for a reason. Also he was a terrific defender
Terry Rozier is a better driver than Barbosa. Barbosa doesn't create off the dribble, he attacks close outs and runs in transition. The only time he ever really attacks the basket in the half court is in the high pick and roll when there are two slower defenders and his speed is good enough to not worry as much about his handle.
Rozier can run the pick and roll and get to the basket with hesitation moves, crossovers etc...but he can't score/run in transition like Barbosa. Both lightning fast.
I agree with A Future of Stevens, in that Rozier will probably be a better defender than Barbosa in his prime.
Barbosa was a good defender though.
'Blur' refers to his speed up and down the floor.
