The analytics perspective
Rozier's ability to get to the basket is tantalizing, but there are plenty of red flags in his Louisville statistics. While Rozier took more than a quarter of his shots near the basket, per Hoop-Math.com, he made them at an unimpressive 55.0 percent clip. As a result, Rozier made just 44.7 percent of his 2-pointers overall. And he wasn't much better outside the arc, shooting 30.6 percent from 3-point range this season and 33.5 percent in his two-year career. The only thing keeping Rozier's true shooting percentage on the right side of .500 was his five free throw attempts per game, which he made at a healthy 77.2 percent rate.
