Rose is a project. They drafted him off potential. You didn't know this? His situation is entirely more pressure packed than anyone else in the draft. He's expected to be the best player on the team from the word go, be a young rookie PG leading a team, and developing in the pressure cooker of his hometown. And a big market with alot of expectations. Don't expect this dude to be ROY caliber even if he plays well.
He has alot to learn, he's gonna be a project for the next 2-3 years. But he has the HIGHEST potential of anyone in the draft.

Re: D.Rose A f..............ing bust
Rose is already the best player on the team based on the few games that I've seen.(maybe Gordon changes that) His athleticism is a huge reason for that, and I don't see why that should be held against him when players like Howard/LeBron started off just as raw.
It just really stinks that he has to succeed in a poisonous situation. Everything about this team is terrible. Confusion everywhere. Coach has no clue. Guys that shouldn't be playing big minutes are. Young players looking like they haven't improved one bit since they were drafted. High paid vets folding under even the slightest bit of pressure.
And Paxson hasn't made a single move except to hire a first-timer head coach, draft a rookie PG, and let the Gordon situation play out to the absolute worst case scenario. Just a horrific job by management. This team is not winning 30 games at this rate.

Re: D.Rose A f..............ing bust
Give him time to develop. He is playing on a team with arguably the worst talent of anyone in the NBA. Plus he is playing against the hardest competition he has ever faced. In college he played against maybe 1 or 2 NBA quality players a night now he has to play against an entire team of them. PGs have the longest adjustment period from college to NBA so give him a while to adjust before dismissing him as a bust.

Tony Parker or Gilbert Arenas? Then add Devin Harris, Baron Davis, Mo Williams. You project that over what 2-3 years, you probably have some good company for Derrick Rose to be keeping. Originally Posted by RoseCity07

Re: D.Rose A f..............ing bust
Who saw that mid air adjustment reverse layup by Rose? That was freakin nasty. Was Jordan like.
His finishing ability around the rim for a PG is insane.

Re: D.Rose A f..............ing bust
Wow, way too early for this. Chill out. Rose will take time. You don't just jump into the NBA at point guard and do great right off the bat. Even guys like Chris Paul went through growing pains.
Same goes for Steve Nash. Same goes for Chauncey Billups.

Re: D.Rose A f..............ing bust
His game has holes in it, but it normally takes point guards a while to get it, it will be a few years beore he should be written off not a few preseason games, or even this year. Look at the progress Mie Conley seems to be making over in Memphis right now. I know CP3 has everybody spoiled, but normally developing takes a while.

Re: D.Rose A f..............ing bust
D-Rose will be just fine. He has all the support he needs from his family and the Bulls org.
He will be so much better once he goes through his rookie year. Bet on it.
