Ok, these players seem to both have similar games.

Anyone care to compare and contract these players?

What makes them different... What set Rose apart?

Rose is a better pure point, more athletic, and like... 4 years younger?

2 1/2 year age difference... but I'm not talking about potential or who's going to have a better career.

I'm talking about what they are today.

Rose a pure point? I always thought of him as more of a scoring PG. I don't see him as a 10+ assist guy. Rose only averaged 4.7 assists per game with much better talent around him and Stuckey averaged more than that in college.

Both are bigger PGs who are scorers and have a great ability to get to the basket. Both are good rebounders for guards.

I can agree with Rose having more athleticism.

Rose is a pass first guy, Calipari's system isn't conducive to racking up assists.

He's not a Jason Kidd or Chris Paul in terms of passing and court vision, but he's on the next level down, like Baron Davis or Andre Miller.
