No it doesn't.
The young and more TALENTED players are still defering to average and lesser NBA players because of their "vet" status.
You mean how like Rose "deferred" to Hinrich last year by taking his starting position and playing about 11 minutes more per game? Or how everyone defers to Lindsy Hunter by letting him never play?
It's this mindset that sometimes limits what our younger players do because they'll "defer" to the vets more then they need to.
I've never, ever seen this from any of our youngs guys, even when our young guys were Deng, Kirk, Duhon and Gordon. Thabo and Tyrus, and even Noah for awhile, were relegated to lesser roles because of coaching decisions that they couldn't control, but I've never thought of any of our younger players over the years as deferrential on the court.
As for Rose's aggressiveness, that's on him.
