:deadmanny:Which is it?:martin: I don't watch Bulls games.


this dude used to be westbrook level athletic. he was being compared to westbrook/wall and he's nowhere near that anymore so really that should answer your question.

his finishing skills and ability to get to the line have also regressed, but i'd pin it more on the athleticism being lost than his overall skills diminishing to this point.

i'd be interested in seeing his shot chart around the rim before and after the injury. seems like he misses so many layups now. he gets there but can't finish.
he should work on his shot exclusively and become a jump shooter. he's got to switch his game up or start finishing at the rim

Rose is athletic in the sense that he's still fast from point A to point B but he has NO lift. What made Rose so special is how he was able to contort his body mid air and avoid drawing a charge and made some crazy ass layups. can't do that anymore. he's avoiding the contact and when he gets in the paint he's jumping away from the basket :to:

he also seems like he's just mentally broken down

His athleticism is still there, he just can't finish anymore. His lift might have diminished a little and that's throwing off his J as well as finishing. To be honest I think it's mostly mental. He's not attacking the basket nearly as much.
