Might be a top 3 passer in the league right now.

Possibly. Lebron Wall Rubio CP3 in the same tier. Maybe Ball too.

Idc what order anyone puts them in. I just wish we had somebody like that.


none of those guys can dime like teodosic. half step up at least from those cats. speaking strictly passing here, obviously.

Derrick Rose's final preseason numbers: 24.3 PTS, 7.7 AST, 5 REB, 1.1 STL per 36 minutes, 62.5 FG%, 60 3P%.


Not to get into a whole Rose/Not Rose thing regarding the Knicks.

Rose played well in a certain way last year. To me, he played well as a somewhat ball dominant SG who had good passing skills - for a SG. Or a scoring PG with below average PG vision.

Either way, he seemed pretty suited to being a scoring guard off the bench on a good team, where his role would allow him to dominate the ball, yet have the ability to create. Plus, the Cavs lost Irving and Rose is better than JR Smith in that "comes in to score off the bench" role.

It could be argued Rose would have put up somewhat better stats on the Knicks if they ran a more P&R offense instead of the triangle.

Rose will put up some nice stats this year and contribute on a good team but it's because LeBron and Wade know what they are doing and he'll defer to them, that the team does well.
Good signing by the Cavs. Best place he could have gone for him and for them.

Rose will be better because Lebron sets a great example and exerts his will on that team. Couldn't have happened here.

I know he's been funny before on Twitter, but Embiid is taking it to the next level.

Both Rose and Melo should have been in that role last year. Both will be better now that they're not the lead guys anymore.

Those guys are all special passers. Like I said, I don't care what order folks put them in. They're all in that top tier IMO.

I love how Embiid retracts nothing and then low key throws extra shade at KD just because. That's how it's done.
