Derrick rose = shooting guard
Derrick Rose needs to move to shooting guard as soon as this pathetic lockout is over!
I think this for a couple of reasons...
1. It's incredibly hard to win a championship with a slashing point guard who is also your main scorer. In fact, it's so hard that no team in history has done it (A.I came closest in 01').
2. His skills are more suited to the 2 guard position. He is a good playmaker but not a great one and is always looking to attack the rim.
Although he would be a slightly undersized shooting guard, he has more than enough athletic ability to make up for it and he wouldn't be burdened with the task of running an offense.
Does anyone else agree with me?

So, who's the starting point guard then ?

Re: Derrick rose = shooting guard
Rose is a scoring point guard. That doesn't mean he should start playing shooting guard. Do you think Tony Parker should have been playing shooting guard all this time? What about Chauncey Billups?

It would work out great if he wasn't only 6 foot 3.
I would be more inclined to agree with he was at least 6 foot 5.

Eric Gordon and Monta Ellis are 6'3.

rose just needs to learn how to pass better in traffic. westbrook = SG. if rose had more options than deng on offense, i'd believe this. westbrook is able to get away with a lot more.

I do NOT agree.
1. WRONG. Tony Parker and Zeke....also, Billups and maybe you could say Archibald.
2. WRONG AGAIN. Dude averages close to 8 assists a game. That is good for a point guard. But if you watch the Bulls you'd see we NEED him to score. It's not his fault, Boozer, Brewer, Korver, Noah and Deng need to step it up offensively.
He would be a VERY undersized shooting guard at 6'2", would take more punishment guarding bigger stronger players, and he just ins't a 2-guard, he's a scoring point that does what his team needs.
If when we get another scorer he will adjust his game accordingly.
But as a franchise and a team we ASKED Rose to shoot more threes and to takeover games. It's not exactly his style.

What are you talking about man you don't even watch Bulls games.
Rose is a good passer. All world? No, but few point guards are. He just needs to learn tendencies and nuances more--he's young.
At any rate he's one of the best finishers in the world....if you were his coach and told him to pass to lesser players when he's on a foray to the hoop you' be doing your team a disservice.

Gordon is a bit taller than Derrick, he's only 6'2" at best.

Re: Derrick rose = shooting guard
i agree i have said this since day 1.....
there is no such thing as a scoring point guard........... there is only a point guard who can score well but always keeps his pointguard duties..... thats more like steve nash or cp3 or deron williams or mark price and so on....
a 25-30 ppg scorer from pointguard position who is not facilitating enough (derrick rose) has always been moved to SG despite the size.... monta ellis, allen iverson and soon... derrick rose... but rose is 6'3".. 1 inch less than Wade... he should be fine....
a pointguards duty is ALWAYS and i mean ALWAYS to set his teammates up and make the correct decisions..... then you can score however much you like..... thats not how Derrick Rose plays...... he brings the ball up and often immediately starts driving or chucking a shot often ignoring the open man or setting up a play for a teammate and so on.......... that is NOT a pointguard.......... that is Monta Ellis, Allen Iverson......... that is Francis/Marbury....... that is DERRICK ROSE.... that is a pure undersized Shooting-Guard...
