For those of you who listened to my Beasley related podcast, I just did my one on Derrick Rose.

I listened to the Beasley podcast which was really good so I'll be listening to this one also Whats the theme music by the way?

The intro is something markdeez from these forums made for me, so it's not from anywhere.

were really in the minority here..but i agree on both your views on Rose and Beasley..

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for both the podcasts. You really did a great job on both podcasts and offered a more in depth analysis than I've seen anywhere.

Great work. Very informative

I can't listen to you anymore, that was almost unbearable. Once you started saying Rose could not finish with his left hand I felt as you lost all credibility. How many game tapes did you watch? I remember seeing Rose at the Moody Bible Institute hurt is right wrist on a dunk and came out in the second half and scored 14 points only using a left hand. I know you probably didn't watch much footage other than the NCAA tourney and that's fine but go to the UCLA tape where Rose is going full speed with the left hand with an in and out on Russell Westbrook who is supposedly the top guard defender in the class. and finishes with a finger roll on the break There is another play with Westbrook matches up with Rose and he hesitates and finishes with the left.

Also saying Rose probably won't be a dunker in the NBA is almost absurd. Mike DeCourcy of Sorting News says Rose will probably end up being the most athletic PG ever http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/vi ... ?p=3393002. You then go on to compare Rose to Hinrich and Gordon and dunking. When Kirk Hinrich does a double pump reverse like Rose did against Michigan St or Ben Gordon double pumps on vertical like Rose did against Texas then maybe I'll agree.

I'm not sure what you watched but Rose will be among the best finishers at the guard position in the league next year. No left hand OMG give me a break.

He watched every single offensive possession that Rose has ever had in college (through Synergy).

Its true that he doesnt dunk that much..it doesnt matter that hes the most athletic or other stuff..he just doesnt dunk often unless its on fastbreak.

He uses that floater and is a great finisher so its not necessarily a bad thing.

He said 400 plays, there are way more than 400 plays in Rose's college season.

And here you go CB4 Rose didn't dunk by choice. "Everyone was saying to [Derrick]," reserve forward Pierre Niles explained, "'You've got too much hops to just be trying to lay the ball up.'" Therefore, said Rose, "I told them in the [NCAA] tournament, I was just going to dunk everything."

It's already noted that you are not a big fan of Rose but the not dunking was by choice not because he lacks the explosiveness even on some fast breaks Rose would lay the ball in this season.

Im pretty sure he watched at least every play where Rose scored. Its very possible that despite his athleticism and strength he's just not the type of player to dunk on traffic, very often at least. He more usually uses his ability to slyly lay it up while hanging in the air for ten seconds.

I disagreed with him as well about Rose and his left hand.

I do agree that he probably won't be much of a dunker in the NBA.Not a slight,but guys are too big in the NBA to let that happen very often.That won't matter either way,because he will be able to use his strength,size,speed,and athleticism to beat just about all of the NBA PG's off the dribble and get the easy two,and I also think he'll be a great finisher and be able to get And-1's in the NBA,which is just as good as any dunk.

You know after punctuations (. , ! etc.) you're supposed to put a space?

Just letting you know, maybe its just your style. Kind of weird to read, though.
