February 10, 201511 yr He will have to develop into a great shooter, because if not he has very little chance of making it at the 2 in the NBA. Not a good shooter, a great shooter that connects on over 40% regularly. He isn't going by NBA shooting guards off the bounce ever. Simply not his game. And size isn't upside. It just makes him the average height of a 2 in the NBA. Rozier has the athleticism, speed, handle and ability to get in the lane needed to play point guard in the NBA. While he still has a lot of work to do, he is much closer to being an NBA 1 than Aaron is at being an NBA 2. It really isn't all that close... I agree that Aaron needs to become a more consistent shooter to succeed in the NBA. That could make his a great player alone. I agree that he's not going to beat NBA guards off the dribble, but if does drive, he can draw a foul or dish it off to the big man. As far as Rozier goes, I just don't see him as a point guard, he likes to shoot the ball too much. Pitino won't even play him at that position and he needs a floor general as much as any coach in the country. While he has a good handle, he doesn't have the handle of a true point guard, nor the vision to find the open man on a consistent basis. Rozier could turn out to be the better pro, but I doubt it. They both have a way to go before their ready, imo, which could be the deciding factor as to which has a better career. I just can't see that either is a clear cut favorite over the other.
February 10, 201511 yr Wait' date=' you think Rozier is going to play the 2 at the next level? Okay, this discussion is over. He's a PG at the NBA level.[/quote'] No, I don't. I said he would be undersized at the 2. Which forces him to play pg, which he has little experience at. Aaron on the other hand, has been playing his true position all along.

It's abundantly clear that you haven't watched Rozier much. That's really all there is to be said.
February 10, 201511 yr The Blue Blockers are extra thick tonight. :lol2: Nah, just a normal night. I have mine tuned to 30%.
February 10, 201511 yr Nah, just a normal night. I have mine tuned to 30%. You're right. Your posts in here are pretty normal for you.
February 10, 201511 yr It's abundantly clear that you haven't watched Rozier much. That's really all there is to be said. I've watched every UL game thats been aired locally. Unfortunately, a lot of them are not. I have watched him plenty though. He is their best player in my mind. Without him, they would just be an average team. Harrell and Blackshear remove themselves from big games for some reason. Rozier is their only shooter and keeps them in the game more times than not.
February 10, 201511 yr Based on your initial post, it seemed clear you think Aaron is better than Rozier. If that's not the case, I think pretty much everyone misinterpreted your meaning. In my original post the thing I was most surprised about was that Andrew Harrison was rated higher than Aaron. Then I saw Rozier also rated above Aaron and it surprised me. That is why I asked who would rather have Rozier. In the games I have seen, Rozier seems inconsistent , just like Aaron, and he is only 6' 1". Plus, I wasn't thinking of Rozier as a PG, which is where the NBA people are projecting him. I was thinking of him as a 6'1" shooting guard, and how many of those are there in the NBA? I appreciate the feedback. I will be watching Rozier more closely now that I see him rated that highly by the scouts. He sure wasn't jumping out to me as an NBA 1st rounder as I watched games before now.
February 10, 201511 yr You're right. Your posts in here are pretty normal for you. Thanks. I like normal.
