I like everything I've heard about and seen of him, but some level as Mudiay!? Holy green goggles, bruh.
Maybe the same level as Smoodiay, his 18 year old cousin.

This is what I see and I am not an expert or wearing green goggles, please tell me if you see things differently.
First Rozier is the better ball handler, maybe a lot better.
Second, Rozier is the quicker and more agile prospect.
Third, Rozier is better ,with the ball, at changing directions and creating space. He is more than likely to be better at changing directions and creating space without the ball too; this would be hard to determine quickly but the best way would be for Mudiay to do the shuttle"reactionary" test and lane agility, sprint, vertical; I think Mudiay has a high vertical.
Rozier is also a better shooter. But Mudiay could make strides in his shooting bc he is younger.
So Theres no way for me or most of us to know, except possibly with the eye test. Why the eye test? Because the shuttle drill, lane agility drill, sprint for example are performed without a basketball. Thats why many of these tests, shuttle drill mostly, can raise a red flag if someone does not have acceptable ball handling .
Anyways, Mudiay is younger than Rozier and could make strides of progress in both skill and physical development. They both have the same wingspan basically and Mudiay has an inch and a half more of standing reach.
I'm tired, and not making sense in my head right now. But I am happy we got Rozier, and if I had the 7th pick I would have selected someone else and tried to grab Rozier later in the round if I needed a point guard.
