His shooting mark ranked as the second-best of his career and he also knocked down 37.0 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc, a personal best for Rose. Last season over the span of 51 games, Rose showed flashes of his former self, averaging 18.0 points, 4.3 assists and 2.7 rebounds while shooting 48.2 percent from the season.
He was released by the Jazz shortly after and signed with the Timberwolves, playing in nine games. That year began with Rose as a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers where he played 16 games before being traded to the Utah Jazz. After averaging 18.0 points and 4.4 assists with the New York Knicks in a one-year stint during the 2016-17 season, he saw action in just 25 regular-season games in 2017-18. Rose, who won the NBA’s Most Valuable Player Award during the 2011 season and is a three-time All-Star, had battled injuries on and off in recent seasons leading to a decrease in production. He’ll likely play a huge second-unit role in a similar fashion to the one he had with the Minnesota Timberwolves during his impressive 2018-19 campaign.ĭerrick Rose’s Stats During Superb Bounceback Season
It’s also worth noting that Jackson was listed as probable as of Wednesday morning but appears likely to play, which adds to the chances of Rose having a role as one of the first players off the bench. Imagine next season’s Pistons with Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, Jalen Duren, Saddiq Bey, Victor Wembanyama and 65 million in cap space. If that were to be the case, it would open the door for Rose to get the starting nod at shooting guard next to Reggie Jackson. The only outlook which could make sense for Rose to start on Wednesday is if Bowen shifts to small forward and Tony Snell comes off the bench. Lineup note: Bruce Brown will start Wednesday Luke Kennard to come off bench.
