Boston Celtics point guard Terry Rozier showed plenty of mettle going against Eric Bledsoe in the first round of the postseason, but the back-and-forth between them stole the show, despite their spirited play.
Oddly enough, former NBA player-turned-analyst Jalen Rose once compared Rozier to Bledsoe during the 2015 NBA Draft before the Louisville product was drafted 16th overall by the team.

In hindsight, Rose would love to have called this shot and Nostradamus a future playoff matchup between the two.
But the observation wasn't too far off, as both guards are smaller than the prototypical point guard, but are still physical and willing to get their hands dirty on both ends of the court.
While Rozier might have won the battle this time around, the jury is still out on who could wind up with the best career, as the 24-year-old Ohio native gets his first full-fledged taste of the postseason.
