Minnesota Timberwolves Player Review: Derrick Rose

When the decision was made to roll through each player on the Timberwolves roster from least minutes played to the most, well … that meant that we’re suddenly starting with perhaps the most polarizing figure on the entire roster.

Derrick Rose, of course, was the 2011 NBA Most Valuable Player. He tore his ACL the following year and has been nowhere near the same player since.

Rose spent 2016-17 with the New York Knicks, and while he averaged 18 points and 4.4 assists per game, was awful defensively and posted career-lows in assist rate while continuing his downward trend in getting to the free throw line, which was one of his impressive attributes during his time in Chicago.
