He went to work on him, faking as if to drive into the paint. Bledsoe bought into that fake, and Rozier crossed him up, breaking his ankles before stepping back to nail the 3-pointer with 0.5 seconds left on the game clock. It was a play of epic proportions, but anyone who's watched Scary Terry of late will know his propensity to hit clutch shots.

Over the first 2 playoff games as a starter this season, the 3rd-year point guard out of Louisville has a stat line of 23 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1 steal per game on 46.9% shooting from the field and 50% from 3-point territory.

That alone should be justification for Rozier's placement on this list.
