One year ago, Terry Rozier was penciled in as the Charlotte Hornets’ starting point guard and Devonte’ Graham was his backup looking to make a mark in the league following a relatively quiet rookie season.
Fast forward 12 months and the two are now both in the starting backcourt and coming off a campaign in which they each ranked in the top-3 in the NBA in individual scoring increase (Graham – 1st; Rozier – 3rd). Naturally, the two have emerged as leaders based on their play alone and now, that responsibility has been heightened with a reduced veteran presence.
