This was billed as a make-or-break season for Derrick Rose. So far, he's not making anything.
A sampling:
- Rose is shooting 35.7 percent at the rim, per NBA.com. That's down from 54.9 percent last year.
- Rose's true shooting percentage of 39.7 ranks No. 315 out of 323 qualified players in the NBA. He is one spot better than Joakim Noah.
- In the four games since returning from his ankle injury, Rose has taken 70 shots and scored 49 points.
- The Bulls are better offensively and defensively with Rose off the court, per NBA.
