Terry Rozier feeling the pressure following his move to the Charlotte Hornets

Terry Rozier is looking to make an impact for the Charlotte Hornets following his move from the Celtics

After the Charlotte Hornets refused to offer Kemba Walker a max deal in free agency, the All-Star guard opted to finally leave the franchise that drafted him almost a decade ago. The Hornets responded by signing Terry Rozier to a three-year, $56 million deal, and the 25-year-old told Jonathan Abrams of Bleacher Report that he is feeling the pressure as he looks to replace Walker:

I’d be lying if I told you there’s no pressure. But the pressure’s part of the game. Pressure is something that I deal with on a daily basis, but I’m always finding ways to get past it. That’s not easy going in, replacing a guard like Kemba.

During the 18-19 season, Rozier averaged 9.0 points, 2.9 assists, and 3.9 rebounds in 22.7 minutes per game.
