Derrick Rose is going to be an NBA Superstar, it is just a matter of time. The year after the Bulls drafted J-Will the NBA removed the "hand checking" rule. J-Will never had a chance to play in the NBA with this rule change. This Bulls Weekly reporter is a big believer that it would have amped up his game big time because of J-Will's athleticism and strength.
Jack Ramsey GM Steve Kerrs take on the no hand check rule...
"If you are athletic and can put the ball on the floor, the rules benefit you," Ramsay says. "It's that simple, and no one takes more advantage of that than Kobe."
Kerr says the elimination of the hand check has been a boon to scoring, especially to players such as Bryant. Since defenders aren't allowed to impede his progress with the hand check, opponents have often found themselves at his mercy this season.
Derrick rose is the perfect storm of athleticism and strength for this rule. We've seen the damage that quick players CP3, Nash, T-Parker have had going to the cup over the past 4 years.
With Derrick Rose you have that type of quickness... but much better hops, strength, and explosiveness. There is no one and will be no one in the NBA that can stop Derrick Rose once he gets his bearings. Rose will be a match-up nightmare... way to big and strong for the quick NBA point guards and too quick and explosive for NBA shooting guards and small forwards. Success in the NBA is all about taking advantage of mismatches and the Bulls can do this on every play. Rose will be able to drive and dish or drive and finish all day in the NBA. With outside shooters that can knock down jumpers (Gordon, Deng, Noc, Kirk) and big guys that can catch lobs (Tyrus, Noah). There will be no "good" way to defend this freakishly athletic point guard.
DON'T BELIEVE ME??? TAKE A LOOK AT THIS TRAILER FOR NBA 2K9... I THINK THEY FEEL THE SAME WAY!
