Scoring guard nicknamed 'Scary Terry' for his ability to erupt for big offensive nights at any moment.
Terry Rozier was born in Youngstown, Ohio on 17 March 1994. A confident, dynamic scoring guard with a quick release and ability to play both on and off the ball, Rozier developed through the Boston Celtics before signing a max contract with Charlotte Hornets in 2019. He developed into a 20-point scorer in Charlotte, earning All-Star status in 2023. He was traded to the Miami Heat in 2024. His nickname 'Scary Terry' reflects his ability to take over games with explosive scoring bursts, particularly in big moments. Despite not being on a championship-level roster for most of his career, his offensive output has been consistent. His confidence, shot-creation and ability to score from all three levels make him one of the Eastern Conference's most dangerous scoring guards.
