The Miami Heat are taking quite the swing here in acquiring Terry Rozier.
The Heat traded Kyle Lowry and a 2027 first-round pick to the Charlotte Hornets for Rozier.
Rozier is averaging nearly 24 points per game with a 57 percent True Shooting mark. He’s not an All-Star by any means, but he’s certainly a talented point guard who’s going to bring a bit more pop to an offense that desperately needs it.
This is why the Heat so desperately wanted Damian Lillard this offseason. Kyle Lowry is still a useful player, but his offense has been off and on so far this season. Rozier should bring some consistency the Heat need. In some respects, he’s been comparable to Lillard.
Left is Damian Lillard. Right is Terry Rozier.
