:merchant: How is Rose a good defender?:merchant:
How is he not? He doesn't always focus with the peon pgs but I can't think off hand one big time pg that has murdered him. Most stars struggle with consistency on that end. His on ball defense has been top notch under Thibs, He sometimes gets lost with screens and ball watches but a zone in Rose is atleast a good overall defender.

:merchant: He gives up 2 less ppg per 100 possessions than Raymond Felton.:merchant: Raymond Felton.

Based off this yeah he was terrible but a healthy and non rusty rose isn't terrible.

I was talkin' 'bout for their careers. Over the last 3 years, Rose has been better than Felton. Felton is atrocious on defense, mostly because of his size. Derrick is just poor on defense, which proves Thibs' system can work for anyone. :manny: Don't get me wrong, tho. I love Rose.
