He is showing serious potential. Every game he seems more and more confident. We need this aggressiveness on the 2nd team. The 2nd unit is growing into something special with Rozier, Smart & Theis.
What Rozier is starting to show out there as Kyrie's backup reminds me a LOT of the Clippers / Bledsoe scenario.
Bledsoe was showing flashes if great potential, and the Clippers were giving him all the minutes they could - but with CP3 starting there were always limits to the type of minutes and role he'd be able to get there. His final year in LA he was only playing 20 MPG, and he was only averaging 8.5 / 3.0 / 3.1 in those minutes.
The Clippers saw he deserved more opportunity, and traded him to Phoenix - and the increased role/minutes led to his production instantly jumping up to 17.7 / 4.7 / 5.5
Bledsoe has averaged 18 PPG since that time, and while he's never been an All-Star he's generally always been considered a very good two-way guard. He's also been limited by injury, and if he had stayed healthy who knows how much better he could have been.
Rozier reminds me of Bledsoe in so many ways. Physically he is a similar height, has similar strength and similarly explosive athleticism. He's got the same scrappy competitiveness and toughness. Like Bledsoe he plays hard on both ends of the court. If he finishes out this season strong (even 80% of the way he's played the past 6 games) I could very easily see him going the same route as Bledsoe - with Danny being forced to either give him an increased role (probably not possible on this roister), trade him to a team with more opportunity, or risk losing him for nothing in free agency.
In fact Bledoe's overall Per-36 PRA (Points + Rebounds + Assists) production (14.9 Pts, 5.2 Reb, 5.4 Ast, 25.5 PRA) is not too dissimilar from what Rozier is averaing Per-36 this season (14.8 Pts, 7.0 Reb, 3.2 Ast, 25.0 PRA).
If Rozier ever becomes even 80% of the player Bledsoe has been the past 4-5 seasons, then he'll prove to be an incredible steal at #16.
