But he gets heavily overrated because the team he played on - won.
And yes, he was a good contributor. But the dude shot 40% from the field in that stretch he was a starter, but guys acting like he did something incredible.
When in reality, he just filled a role on a very good team.
I would rather overpay someone like Beverly/Dragic/Lin for 1-2 years, and have our options open in a year or two to go for someone big.
I remember Rozier knocking down big shot after big shot and getting stops in the process and thus being a huge reason for that team's success with Tatum and Brown struggling in many playoff games. Simply put, he took over and won many of those games on the biggest stages.
That said, maybe our very own KP gets overrated here despite the fact that his teams don't win - at all (Am I saying I'd trade one for the other? Clearly not. But Terry has proven to be a winning player).
In the series against the Cavs, he averaged 13.6 ppg on 14 shots, with splits of .378/.255/.800
Game 7 he put up 4 points in a 2-14 night, including 0-10 from 3
That's the problem with narratives like that is people got selective memories. The facts don't add up to him being this big shot maker, clutch performer, huge reason they were good. He's a role player, at best
And then the "KP's teams don't win at all" which is stupid. I don't even know what you're arguing here, it's like you're ignoring how we went from a mediocre team with KP to one of the worst in the league without him
Rozier is much better at being on a team who is good enough to win without him
