Ja Morant is Explosive but he lacks that extra little twitch that D-Rose had

[CHICAGO]

Many other players with better careers and skills than Derrick Rose did not win MVP.

THATS YOUR OPINION....

FACTS ARE HE WAS THE BEST
PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE IN 2011.

NOW COMPARE THAT TO
THE THOUSANDS OF PLAYERS
WHO HAVE WON CHAMPIOMSHIPS.

Right. Rose's movements were more compact, his athleticism was more controlled, it looks cleaner...nikkas like Ja and Russ some wild wild west type characters on the court

nah i don't mean controlled when i say coiled

i mean drose moves with a lot of snap & tension

son was kamikaze as a younger player & had the worst landing mechanics ever

he had to clean up his style of play & he's been staying on the floor now as a vet

ja be diving into the paint too but he's handling it ok so far

brodie is brodie that nikka is weapon.x a fukking mutant so we not even talking about him ha

Please tell me u have a clip

 

[EarlyEarly]

D-Rose looks powerful on top of being explosive while Ja is wirey explosive. Rose had more to pull from. Nobody was like that guy.

For as long as Lebron James has been in the league, at no point was Derrick Rose better than him. Having won MVP was great, but that doesn’t mean he was a better player in 2011.

In any case, none of this is on the topic at hand. Ja Morant is plenty athletic as it is to be successful in this league.

He’s a try hard his dunks lack the instinctual quality that D-Rose had and that same pop it’s hard to describe.

And yeah dude is overrated the recklessness is annoying. He’s not a good shooter, defender, and is TO prone and ball dominant. He talk too much he got the whole mid-major, chip on the shoulder thing going on with his cocky ass.


Dude is just a try hard he’s easily missed around 20-25 dunks since entering the league. Him and Marquesse Chriss the worst with that shyt. Dude tried to throw it off the glass in traffic last night.

This is before rap...this is all facts

And D Rose had Olympic level body control...dude was doing mid air gymnastics....also one of the strongest PGs p4p. Ja is just a crash dummy wit it

Had all those dudes completely lost on the court

Left em Lost like the tribe of Shabazz

Ja is a fun player but he ain't nowhere near a #1 on a high level playoff squad. Dude needs to learn when to slow it down, get a fukking jump shot.....right now he is just pure unrestrained go which makes for great highlights but not much for winning

JJJ looks mid too....at best he becomes a better version of Myles Turner
I dont see either as a franchise player

And yes that Bustise trade was retarded....they already had Slo Mo Anderson to fill that role

Memphis has a lot of solid dudes but they need high level talent to really become something real

They really could have used a top pick in this draft as the play-in game doesn't really do anything for them if the core in it's current format just isn't good enough to go any higher. It also doesn't help that one of the things that they need (an elite wing) is what other teams are looking for as well.

When he was with the Suns, it used to drive me nuts.

 

[A.V.]

We need to have a discussion about what has gone wrong with morant. His shooting is down across the board and his reckless is hurting the team. He hasn’t progressed at all this year

Meanwhile in New York...

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

DUDE DROSE WAS 1 OF 1.

STOP COMPARING EVERY PG
WITH BUNNIES TO HIM.

MJ THE ONLY DUDE
THAT HAD THAT TYPE OF PACKAGE.

​

this...brehs need to understand D-Rose was one of the most explosive athletes to play in the NBA...his explosiveness off 2 feet is unmatched especially when you factor in his size compared to someone like VC or JRich

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Your D Wade hate is retarded for a nikka from Chicago who had a much better prime, more ridiculous layups, more crossovers, and yammed on nikkas more

This nikka REAL DEFENSIVE over Rose

 

[Rekkapryde]

Rose was absolutely destroying Ja last night too

ummmm, most of these are Brooks/Anderson

but yeah, D-Rose still that dude.

 

[T.he I.nformant]

His ceiling will be a more athletic john wall but he ll need another 2 pieces to win

You say this as if Derrick Rose didn’t need the same

 

[Eternal Tecate]

At the NBA level athleticism matters a lot less than developing a particular skill set.

Early in this thread, the names thrown out here are Ja Morant, John Wall and Derrick Rose -- the latter two being players who haven't ever won a championship and whose effectiveness has largely been irrelevant once their athleticism has been compromised through injury.

If Ja Morant is going to be that next level player that Memphis needs, he doesn't need to improve anything "athletically". He doesn't need to jump higher or be more explosive to the basket. He needs to become a smarter player, and a better shooter.

We'll see about that
