Betting on him to become better than morant while the latter's still out.

And as for being a mentor to Morant Rose himself has said that he's not there to babysit.

My man, thats the beginning of the mentorship right there. And you really think Rose doesnt get about 10 minutes at PG and about half of that alongside Ja? Im willing to bet that will be the minimum. I dont think they picked up Rose just to cut him.

A coach could try to play Rose and Morant together but on paper that's a bad fit. Both guys are only really suited to playing point guard, neither is big enough to defend a guard over 6'4 and both need the ball to be effective. Bane and Smart can defend shooting guards and Smart can also play point guard. Especially if Memphis is focused on being a strong defensive team playing Rose and Morant together just doesn't make sense. Rose needs to make the most of this time while Morant is suspended if he's going to secure a role playing significant minutes in the playoffs.

We’ll know when Rose has finished because the evidence will be on OP’s lips.
