Re: What if Derrick Rose stayed healthy?
Well then this makes sense. I don't think any of us knew this was what you meant when you said it.
That was basically the difference between the two of them at 22. Rose was under more control, he made better decisions, especially with his shot selection.

Re: What if Derrick Rose stayed healthy?
Still don't get your point. Everyone knows Rose was a more polished Westbrook when they were both young. Rose won MVP while Rus was getting blamed for KD not winning a ring. This thought was obvious back then, and at least relevant.
It sounds like you're insinuating that if Rose stayed healthy he'd be better than RWB right now just because he was a more polished version of RWB years ago. That makes absolutely no sense. We have no idea how Rose would've developed, and considering how much better RWB has become, even less of an idea if Rose's development would've kept up.Comment

I said what if. It's possible Rose would be on the same level as Russ, but we'll never know.Still don't get your point. Everyone knows Rose was a more polished Westbrook when they were both young.

Re: What if Derrick Rose stayed healthy?
Even if comparing the two at the time saying Derrick was more polished seems strong to me. Russ has always been a better jump shooter and defender. Rose was certainly the smarter player, but Russ isn't a true point guard which could attribute to some of his issues there at the time.

Re: What if Derrick Rose stayed healthy?
Then it's kind of a pointless thread if you were just making a statement (that was discussed years ago).
"If Rose didn't get hurt he may be as good as Westbrook."
"Yup."
lol
The discussion of how crazy it is to compare 22 yo Rose to 27 yo Rus has been decent so we can leave it open.Comment

Re: What if Derrick Rose stayed healthy?
All I can say is that Rose in his prime was the most exciting player I've seen in the last 10 years. Of course it's completely subjective, but I absolutely loved watching him play and I'm not a Bulls fan at all.Khalabeeb - Tony Henderson

Re: What if Derrick Rose stayed healthy?
I remember Rose's MVP season he was the talk of the town. People weren't mentioning Russ like they were Rose, and everyone I knew was like "dude Derrick Rose is ridiculous..." and as his game evolved, so too did Russ's - there's no way to know what he would have added to his game but we can only speculate his shooting and D would have improved.Comment

It sucks that we don't get to see Rose v Westbrook while they're both in their primes.I remember Rose's MVP season he was the talk of the town.

Re: What if Derrick Rose stayed healthy?
How can it remind you of something we haven't seen yet? That wasn't Rose's prime. He'd just now be entering his prime right now.
