Derrick Rose's Former Bulls Teammate Makes Strong Statement About Him
In a recent interview with Betway, former NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer was asked about playing with Derrick Rose and Deron Williams.
"They were both great and so different, they’re both terrific point guards,” Boozer said. ”D-Will was more of a pass-first point guard who loved to get the assist, he could also score one on one, but he was more of a pass-first point guard. D-Rose was just an assassin, he could score anytime he wanted to, jump over the seven-footers inside.”
On Rose, Boozer added, "I think he is probably the most athletic point guard we’ve ever had in the NBA, I mean, literally 6-foot-2, 6-foot-3. Fast like Allen Iverson, jumped like Michael Jordan, he was a rare combination of speed and athleticism, not just on the court but in the air. He would do all these dipsy-doo and he was spectacular, but they were two great, great point guards but a very different style of play.”
Now with the Memphis Grizzlies, Rose is still a contributor this late into his career, which says a lot about his ability to adapt and play a role. A superstar with the Chicago Bulls, Rose still has a loyal fanbase to this day.
The Grizzlies are off to a tough start this season, but they are very shorthanded, so there is reason to believe they will bounce back once they get some reinforcements - most notably star point guard Ja Morant.
