More athletic young Baron Davis or Derrick Rose

[Bigsmoke]

Davis is fat.

Yeah Rose is bigger, stronger, faster and jumps higher

Westbrook is 6'3 1/2 with a longer wingspan
Rose is 6'2 1/2 with a shorter wingspan

As for your little combine measurements. Eric Gordon beat Rose in virtually every measurement, I guess he's a better athlete than Rose?

You want to talk about leaping ability/explosiveness?

You still mad Greg beat Kevin in the draft measurements?

I'm thinking....young Baron Davis?

That's pretty close actually. Baron just maximizes his strength better which makes him better in that regard.

damn current Derrick Rose is really getting underrated on these Forums nowadays

I'm gonna say Derrick Rose. But I think some people are seriously forgetting that Baron Davis was also very athletic

I remember people saying Wall was more athletic than Rose which is way off.

Rose athleticism is really uncomparable with current pg in the game IMO.

He was. But better than Rose ................. umm I dont think so.

Not at all. I completely agree with Rose. His post is unbiased and true. Baron actually uses his size and strength to post up often.. and bang down low before dishing out. Rose doesn't. Rose has the size and strength to post up almost any guard in the NBA yet does he? I don't think I've ever seen him post up. It's the same way I feel about 7 footers like Bargnani sitting around shooting 3's and jumpers all day. He's not using his length and size properly. If I was the coach of the Bulls.. I'd start forcing Derrick Rose to play in the post more because it would be an easy 2 points with his quickness and explosiveness.

Baron is one of my favorite players of all time. I've been watching him since he was 16...

Rose is more athletic than he has ever been

Rose is a freakshow

I respect the fact that you're always very unbiased with your posts, even ones about the Bulls players. I'm repping you. I agree though that Baron maximizes his strength more. I think Rose is more athletic overall...

I was talking bout the athleticism not the post up game.

I actually seldom see Rose post up, granted most young guards don't utilize that, it happens once they age a bit. see: Chauncey, Kobe, etc etc. I think he'll do it one day, but young Baron did that, and honestly was one of the best at it.
