Terry Rozier before this thread: 

9.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 34.4% FG%, 32.5% 3PT%

After this thread:

11.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 40.7% FG%, 39.4% 3PT%

Clearly, this thread negatively affected TR’s rebounding.

Undoubtedly those are stats speak for themselves.

2 conclusions:
1) We need more "Are there any (insert Celtic) fans left?" threads.
2) Once you think that someone rebounds well and his numbers immediately fall.

The FG% is still something you'd like to see a little higher, but stats don't tell the whole story with Terry (just as they don't with Marcus). That 3 pointer when the Cs were down 5 with just a couple of minutes to go was so huge...and so were all of his other 3s. He just so moves so well with the ball that his defender is always off-balance.

I was a huge fan before the thread (see page 1), but now I don't see how we let this guy go. He is finally harnessing some of his elite athleticism and is just mowing over everybody that stands in his path.

Ideally the FG% would go up, but he’s gotten much better, to the point where he’s a pretty efficient player.

Before thread: 42.4% eFG%, .459 TS%

After thread: 50.7% eFG%, .535 TS%

Rozier is one of the rare players in the NBA that electrifies the crowd and changes the pace of the game with his presence. He brings a frenzy and a controlled chaos that is difficult to guard.

Talent-wise (right now), he's probably somewhere around a Drew Bledsoe and Jeff Teague, but neither of those guys change the pace or energy of the game like Rozier does with his presence.

I was trying to think of the players in the NBA who have the ability to change the pace and energy of the game too. Here are the frenzied controlled chaos players I came up with: Curry, Thompson, Ball (potentially), Jokic, and Westbrook. Anyone else?

His frenzied energy is an intangible quality that makes him special and better than players with his comparable production. I just hope he can figure out how to have that impact on the road.

Before thread: 42.4% eFG%, .459 TS%

After thread: 50.7% eFG%, .535 TS%

And on a small sample size of 9 playoff games he’s been even better.

56.7% eFG%, 60.7% TS%.

Also, 7 assists/game to 1.4 TO. Excellent.

Last night’s game plan really suited him. Spread the floor way out, drive and kick to the wing when the D collapsed. Perfect for him. He’s still not great at the pick and roll as a passer, but this set let him pass very effectively.

His frenzied energy is an intangible quality that makes him special and better than players with his comparable production. I just hope he can figure out how to have that impact on the road.

Right now for the playoffs, his comparable production is Kyle Lowry, but I think it's fair to say that probably isn't going to continue indefinitely.

In some ways he reminds me a little bit of Reggie Jackson during his OKC days, only Terry can shoot from outside.

I'm also reminded of guys like Ty Lawson and TJ Ford who were small and really fast.  Aaron Brooks is another.


JJ Barea is another guy that comes to mind.

Good thoughts on guys who brought energy. I'd say Rozier is better than any of those guys so far these playoffs. He is also a better defender than them.
