#23•D. ROSE
PG • 6’2, 200 lbs; 15th year, Memphis
SALTY DOG
NBA ROLE: HIGHLY SKILLED, ATTACK-MODE PG
The 2011 Most Valuable Player & one of the most explosive PGs in league history, Derrick Rose remains a very tough cover – still features frequent speed bursts & spectacular finishes in the lane; relentless, attack-mode guard: Rose is historically an explosive penetrator but picks his spots more methodically these days: constantly looking to make things happen; D-Rose likes to score via (midrange) step backs, crossover pull-ups, push floaters & twisting buckets near the rim; has learned to play the boards very well, especially right below the left elbow; improved shooter from deep, has gotten better at catch & shoot triples playing off ball; great reserve/6th Man: mainly looks to score, has adjusted to lessened responsibility while (still) making smart reads; signed w/ Grizz (2023) – vital vet behind Ja Morant – in search of 1st NBA title in Memphis
