As a sophomore at Louisville, Rozier blossomed in an expanded role after a pretty mundane first season with the Cardinals. In his second collegiate season, the 6’2″ shooting guard put up 17.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game in Louisville’s run to the Elite Eight.
Though he wasn’t particularly efficient, shooting 41.1 percent from the floor and 30.6 percent from three-point range (on 4.4 attempts per game), Rozier is a well-rounded prospect with tremendous athleticism that helps make up for his lack of size.
Though he isn’t a sure thing by any means, this 21-year-old has the kind of talent and quickness that could easily translate to the next level with the right development. The question is, is he a realistic draft possibility for the Suns in the first or second round? Here’s a look at his draft profile.
