Terry Rozier's best stretch

Here are Rozier's averages from their recent three-game win streak:

  • 27.7 PPG
  • 4.0 RPG
  • 3.7 APG
  • 57% FG
  • 59% 3P
  • 100% FT

During this three-game span, he led the entire NBA in total 3-point makes and plus-minus.

Rozier’s ability to pressure the rim is something the Heat haven’t had at the point guard position since Goran Dragic. He has a knack for getting to the free-throw line and being aggressive throughout his entire arsenal of shot selection. Most importantly; he isn’t afraid of the big moment.

Having another alpha-type natural hooper is everything this Miami squad has desperately coveted. It will be a luxury to have another offensive weapon to take some load off Butler come playoff time. For a $24 million price tag, this trade wound up being a big-time difference maker for the Heat this season. He is coming off a Heat season-high 34 points on 10 of 15 shooting and eight 3-pointers in the last win against the New York Knicks.
