Statistically D-Rose is the second best player in the NBA

[nonemus]

As of now at this moment. Derrick Rose is the second best player in the NBA statistically. He is only behind Pau Gasol according to the Pts/Reb/Assist scoring by NBA.com Good job D-Rose..... Now if only he had Boozer and the Bulls keep winning, he can be in the talks of MVP.

As a Bulls fan I do not endorse this message.

why not? hes right. statistically, based on that formula he is second best.

Reread the bolded.

ZOMG ROSE IS THE SECOND COMING OF MJ!!!!!

MJ is Rose's floor.

You guys seem to be overreacting, I didn't say he is the second best player, just statistically.....

He's not the 2nd best player statistically, he has the 2nd most points+rebounds+assists. Last time I checked, there are many, many ways to measure a player's productivity statistically, and this one doesn't do a very accurate job of that.

It's statements like this that give stats a bad name. No stat claims to rate which player is "best."

And what possible other stat is more important than points rebounds and assists?

I like Rose, I don't get why people hate him so much. The Bulls are legit, too. Once they get Boozer back they'll have a legitimate team.

fake bulls fan just trying to rile things up

[fallacy]

OMG, THERE IS A STAT THAT SHOWS DERRICK ROSE IS GOOD. WE NEED A THREAD ABOUT IT SO OTHER PEOPLE KNOW THAT HE IS GOOD!!

Russell westbrook is fourth in the league in PER while rose is 15th. WE NEED A THREAD ABOUT THIS NOW!!

Clearly, Rose is performing at a level never-before-seen in the NBA.

High FG% = awesome efficiency. Plus he's doing it with no talent around him at all.

I'd have to say that, atm, he's a top 3 NBA player. Behind Pau and Paul.

Rose's PER/TS% - 22.7/ .547
Westbrook's PER/TS% - 26/ .569

When russell is more efficient than you, you're doing it wrong. Rose is FAR from highly efficient

So what are you saying? Rose isn't efficient? just because he doesn't draw as many fouls as Westbrook doesn't make him inefficient. Look at shooting % and volume of shots taken.

Yes, he is not as efficient. True shooting % and PER are the two best efficiency stats in the league.

Yes, he is shooting the ball well, but that is just a part of being efficient. His 76% ft% and that fact that he can't get to the line that well make him much less efficient. PER and TS% take all this into account and rose just isn't that great at that part of the game.

Is rose good? Yes. Is rose efficient? No. Two different discussions

I was being facetious. I assumed it would be obvious...but FWIW, it's harder to be efficient when you're the only offensive option, as opposed to having one beside you.

LOL sure because PER and TS% are perfect stats to measure efficiency. Do you even know what all PER entails?

Rose is shooting .480 on high volume of shots with a decent clip of 3s @ .34 if that is called INEFFICIENT then put down whatever you are smoking in OKC and get some fresh air.

[darth_federer]

No he isnt and thats a bad measure of his value. Hes a top 15 player in the league. Lets leave it at that...

Yes, that is called inefficient when you're shooting 76% from the line and turning the ball over 4 times a game. There is more to the game than shooting percentages. All you have proved is that rose is shooting well from the floor this year.
