Derrick Rose Running Hoiball 2.0 Should Be Main Focus

Fred Hoiberg tweaking the Bulls offense to incorporate sets from Tom Thibodeau era to allow Jimmy Butler (along with Pau Gasol) to put up numbers.

In Thibodeau’s last year with the Bulls, most half-court plays had majority of the offense run thru Butler in ISO situations at the expense of scorers languishing on the bench like Doug McDermott, Nikola Mirotic, Tony Snell and even E’Twaun Moore.

On the other hand, Derrick Rose ran the system that Hoiberg was setting into place. There were times when Hoiberg had to constantly reminded Rose about the importance of crossing the ball past half-court quickly to allow the team to attack with more time on the shot clock.
