“Family,” that’s how PG Derrick Rose describes being a part of the New York Knicks. A special connection with his coaches and upper management lead to a three-year, $43 million contract, despite Rose headed toward father-time. His impact can still be exercised in multiple ways.
“It’s family here,’’ Rose said. “ I got Wes here. I got Thibs here. I got everybody that I’ve had success with here, laying down a foundation.’’
Bringing back Derrick Rose is about a lot more than his performance on the floor. His mentorship for young players like Immanuel Quickley and now Miles Mcbride holds invaluable benefit.
