I don't see how he could become a better player than the player he could have become WITHOUT the injury.

Rose won the MVP at 23 and still had some weaknesses in his game. When he comes back it's not like he'll lose all his athleticism. Let's say he comes back around 95% of the player he was, and improves in areas like his mid range, defense, works on a post game, etc.... It's definitely not impossible because he's so young and not many people work as hard as Rose.

Sad

I hope he fully recovers...

Eric Snow 2.0

He really needs to stop with all of jump stops, putting enormous amounts of torque on his legs. Another Penny Hardaway? Nah, Penny made it to the finals

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

How is this news though? We already knew it was a 8-9 month rehab.

 

[Since '86]

This is news how? That's a typical time frame.

This is news how? That's a typical time frame.

Rubio's was a little shorter than 8-12 months.

 

[SkinsWizNatsCaps]

Chi-town PG curse?......

 

[Prolific_1011]

Sad, just sad. Hope he makes a full recovery.

 

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

John Lucas III is better anyway.











What?

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

It's not unheard of that he could regain all of his explosiveness in two years. He's young. He can do it.

 

[fact]

Rose goes 100% all the time. Not sure he can make an adjustment and stay healthy, hope he does though. Never want to see another Penny.
