Will Derrick Rose ever be the same again?

[Gosens6]

We all know about the terrible injuries to Derrick last year that not only took away his season, but almost his career. He will be out most of this year also it seems.

I thought it would be a good discussion here on OS, do you guys think Rose will ever be the MVP type player he's been most of his career? Or will we see a different kind of player on the court?

I think he will be fine, or at least I hope he will be, he's still young.. However I still don't believe he's ever been an 'MVP' level player and him winning the award was garbage lol

I think when he comes back, he'll become a better jump-shooter
(ex. Tim Hardaway)

[Graphik]

I think he can do it for the simple fact that he has the money and resources to do so. Not many players can afford the best medicine and doctors and still be set financially. With so much on the line, he will probably bounce back from this. Although, I definitely think he'll lose some of his quickness and his leaps.

Take into account ACL tears aren't as damming as they were even 10 years ago. A lot of things that weren't possible are now with the advances in medicine and surgical procedures. Take a look at Adrian Peterson or Jamaal Charles as a Running Back tearing your ACL pretty much doomed your career not too long ago but look at how they've comeback even possibly stronger than ever. Rose will be fine.

He will be fine its not the injuries that kills the player its the work ethic look at Kobe he's always injured just never complains he gets threw it always play at a top level he has a new injury every year since I can remember and AP came back D.Rose will be fine he has work ethic like no other

Baron Davis did it, I believe!!

[Macar91]

I'm more confident now that he'll come back as good than I was when the injury happened. All reports are saying that the rehab is going very well, and the fact that D Rose is one of the hardest workers in the league makes me think this could be like an Adrian Peterson situation.
