"It's there; I have a consistent 3-point shot now," Rose said Wednesday night. "You'll see. I just have so much confidence in my jump shot now. It's coming along so good. It's past even my expectations at this point." From Chicago Tribune his mid-range improved at such a fast rate last year that his mid-range J was near automatic in the 2nd half. now he has a 3pt shot? oh my, can we see a big jump in PPG for rose? i'm predicting 25 points and 7 dimes next year. oh yea, he's going to shoot 50% w/ boozer and korver added onto the team.
Man, I love D-Rose! Him and Durant are one of the few athletes in the NBA that are superstars but are also humble.
I've been focusing on him since game 1 of his rookie year. One of my top 5 favorite players in the NBA.
i think besides the 3pt shot, what rose really needs to improve on is his ability to get to the line (or make it easier for refs to call fouls in his favor). there is no way a player with his speed, quickness, and strength to average a pathetic 3 fta per game. that should not only improve his efficiency, but put other teams' big men at risk (since the bulls aren't a "big" team anyways"
I'm not on board. The way people talk about him you'd think he was an elite player, but when I watch him on the court I see another story. Marbury was better at that age. I am sure he'll get better but Ill tell you right now he will never be the best player on a championship team.
Agree with you. I think finally having a legit coach will do a lot for Rose. He is already on the map, but this season he should take a clear step into elite status. Thibs will also make him play defense, which his prior "coach" did not do.
