Per Cowley "Source": Butler not a fan of Rose's work ethic

[dice]

Beyond any personality issues that may or not exist, the chemistry problem Rose and Butler have to get over skill wise, is the similarity in their games.

If one shot much better beyond the arc, like if Jimmy can keep his 3pt% up, then the skill fit between them will be much better

hopefully derrick will understand that and try to drive and kick more. until that happens teams will dare him to shoot

Derrick is going to shoot 3's this year, but we have to hope he decreases his attempts by 50-60% from last year.

Something positive to note is that during an interview with his trainer, Rob McClanaghan, mentioned that he was mostly working on his finishing around the basket and midrange shooting. So hopefully that's a good sign.

Derrick is most definitely going to shoot threes this year ass instructed by Hoiberg. And the board is going to go into an uproar for no reason because of it. He will also drive though as there will be open lanes, I predict a nice balance.

They'll be fine once they start side by side at this season's all-star game.

After the AS break,

- Jimmy shot 51% from 3.
- Mike shot 40%.
- McDermott "shot" 43% (on not many attempts)
- Snell shot 36%

Rose barely played, but during the playoffs he shot 35%.

With Hoiberg's system putting a focus on creating easy looks and spacing and passes to open weakside shooters, the Bulls may be OK on 3 point shooting %. I don't think we'll ever be a high volume 3 team like the Dubs, none of our stars are 3 point bombers.

I would think that one of the reasons Hoiberg was hired in the first place is to create spacing for Rose and Butler.

This year:


Last year:


The lineup is drastically different obviously...but it makes you wonder if Hoiberg will allow both Noah & Taj to play at the same time as both kill spacing.
