With Rose in the lineup and playing his best basketball in four seasons, the Bulls are 5-8 in January and 3-5 in February. Granted, other Bulls have been injured, but it sure seems like the best of Rose is being wasted.
Or, is Rose the problem despite the apparent resurgence?
While everyone focuses on his ankle-breaking crossovers and ridiculous driving layups, they’re forgetting the game of basketball is played at both ends of the court.
At his best, Rose was never anything more than an average defender. Since the injuries, though, his defensive metrics have slipped even more.
In his last 21 games, by far his best offensive stretch of the season, Rose has just six positive plus-minus games.
