After finally getting his wish to leave the Boston Celtics for the Charlotte Hornets, the Terry Rozier Experience has been interesting so far at the midseason point.
It was a dark and stormy night in Boston, the city was on a low after their hometown heroes, the Boston Celtics, lost 116-91 to the resurgence Milwaukee Bucks to end their season in the Eastern Conference semi-finals. The excruciating loss was felt by all the players, but none more than backup point guard, Terry Rozier, who was eager to force his way out the door on his way to the Charlotte Hornets.
Scary Terry, as he was called in the 2017-18 playoffs, stated in a post-game interview:
"“I don’t give a f–k what nobody say, I sacrificed the most out of anybody. I’m a top point guard in this league. I feel like it’s a fresh start, whether I’m here or whether I’m gone.”"
This was alarming news, with the uncertainty of Terry Rozier’s future in Boston arising. At the end of the day, Rozier was in need of rejuvenation and fans needed it too. That’s when everyone finally got what they needed, a new home for Terry Rozier.
Now, it’s been a quiet journey for Rozier. He got drafted to the Celtics back in 2015, with the sixteenth pick. Remember, this was when the Celtics were an Eastern conference team stuck in a hard place, yet they had the blueprint for the new few years to come.
No one knows how Terry Rozier would’ve been if he was drafted to another team, a team that would’ve welcomed him with open arms.
Let’s take a dive, a dive into the wonderful, crazy and wacky season of Rozier.
