Is Derrick Rose essentially done as a superstar in this league?

He looks like dimished physical goods in the World Cup. That's not good for a 6'3 guard with a suspect jumper.

I know many Bulls fans won't accept reality about this guy, but that's cool. Seeing your franchise player losing it cannot be easy, especially one from your hometown.

Anyway, I see him as a 17/6.5/3 player this year on 41/30/82 splits. That's basically Russell Westbrook rookie numbers :heh:

I also seeing him a lot worse on D. Really looks like his lateral quickness has taken a hit with these two knee injuries.

He's just starting if
  1. he stays healthy
  2. and tweaks his game to take less toll on his knees
Bulls fan should lynch the mofos in that front office. I never thought i'd see the day where ANY bulls fan would beg for crumbs Krause back but my boy (big bulls fan from CHI) dared to say that sh!t the other day.
I was like :dahell:

Regardless if he stays healthy, he still looks like a finished product both in term of explosion and lateral quickness.

He can not take another injury and still be a lesser player. In fact, I think that's more than likely the case

You're Expect a returning MVP and ALL Star Team member to go hard in a non compensation based tournament during the offseason after sustaining two knee injuries ? After already showing that he can still attack the paint at will? And that he still has the vert?

:camby:

this plus -rep and 1*'in this thread.

Vert in warm ups is different than a vert exploding through contact. Your take is wakk and really short sighted. Step your game up and watch the guy move with bodies around him.

Most players are never 100% the first year and a half after major injuries. Jamal Mashburn and Chris Paul are prime examples. Most mofos were on that "Chris Paul is done" talk after that surgery when he first came back. 2 years later he was back killing fools again.

Rose will be fine. He needs to adjust his game tho

bruh. D-Rose is gonna be more than good. Still athletic as all fukk and seems to have added tools and a mentality to become one of the best scorers in the league. Nobody is stopping him from getting to the rim and Im sure he's worked on his jumper. He putting up atleast 25 a game

I guarantee he wont average 25. That's laughable

And most players who sustain cartilage damage to both knees never recover to be the player they once were.

What you nikkas trippin on? He already looked like a shell of his former self coming off the ACL. What you think he's going to do with two knee injuries

Did you not see him go coast to coast in 3 dribbles and elevate thru traffic in the USA matchup?

Did you not see the off screen dunks? The cut screen dunks?
