Do you realize that Rose averaged only 4.7 assists per game that season despite playing with 3 future NBA draft picks? Do you realize that Rose took 17 shots in the title game and was 1-6 from the 3 pt range?
Do you realize that Rose is 8th in the league in attempts this year? Do you realize that he averages 5.7 assists per game vs. 17.5 shots? When you shoot 3 times more than you pass you are a shoot first point guard anyway you spin it.
Found his jump shot? He is shooting 22% from 3 pt range. He better keep looking.
Listen, I like Rose. I think he is a wonderful young player. He could very well develop into a better distibutor but that isnt his game yet. It may never be. still, its not an indictment saying that he is a shoot first PG. My favorite player is a shoot first PG. isaiah thomas was a shoot first PG. At the same time, pairing him with three other guys that all want the ball would be a chemistry issue.
Could that team win games? Of course. Win championships? I don't think so.
I gave you stats to back up my point. Do you have any stats or facts or just rumors of Del Negro rantings and tales of high school glory?

The thing that you are just not comprehending is that the reason those numbers are the way they are is because who he is surrounded with. When Noah or Thomas are on the floor, it is basically 4 on 5 on the offensive side of the ball. Deng takes nights off too. He has been forced into that role.
And using Memphis statistics to prove a point is nuts. That offensive is strictly based on if you can break someone down, you do it, and if you can't get past the person for a layup/dunk, you dish the rock. Rose was strictly quicker then everyone that year, and just blew by people.
Also, so you know, jump shots and 3 pt shots are completely different. He has found his 12-15 foot JUMP SHOT. His 3pt shooting is far from average.
