Highlights

We saw one clutch highlight in the strengths section, but this is another one of his big plays down the stretch in the NBA Playoffs.

We know his defense is good and this video just goes to show this. The other interesting thing is that with the clock winding down, instead of trying to take over in the big moment and take the shot, he instead passed it to Jaylen Brown.

I think that’s something that shows he is willing passer; it’s just a matter of working on it more consistently.

It’s not really a highlight, but this is basically how Rozier took out Eric Bledsoe in the playoffs and helped Boston win the series against the Milwaukee Bucks. While it’s not a highlight of his play, it’s an example as to how Rozier got under Bledsoe’s skin to help Boston win.

In Game 7 of their first round playoff series against the Bucks, Rozier stepped up in a major way with 26 points, nine assists and six rebounds. This was probably his best series of the playoffs and it helped propel the Celtics to the next round.

His best game of the regular season featured a career-high 33 points, including 8-of-12 shooting from 3-point range against the Sacramento Kings in late March.
