After four years with Boston, Terry Rozier was traded to Charlotte as part of the deal that sent Kemba Walker the other way. The transaction allowed Rozier to become a starting Guard in the NBA, which he has to date taken advantage of.

Rozier only started 30 Games as a Celtic, which he equaled in only 30 games in Charlotte. With the increased minutes, Rozier’s numbers naturally went up, as he had 18.0 Points per Game in 2019-20, but of greater note was that his shooting percentages also rose. Rozier had an ever greater second season as a Hornet, increasing his PPG to 20.4, and posting a PER of 17.1, both of which were career highs, unti he eclipsed his PER the year after (17.6) while also posting a healthy PPG of 19.3. In 2022-23, he had his best PPG (21.1), though someone has to score for the lowly Hornets.

After 30 Games in 2023-24, Rozier, who was averaging over 23 Points per Game was traded to the Miami Heat, bringing an end to his stay in the Carolinas. Rozier had an even 20 PPG as a Hornet over 298 Games.
