Drose MVP was 10 years ago, at that time the spacing was way different, i believe MVP Rose could put 50+ FG% in todays game. He need to drive between PG, PF and C's thats crazy!

[@itskalbtw]

honestly with teams playing arguably worse defense today, a 2011 DRose would smoke his defenders night in and night out. Imagine if he continued his play, he'd be the most dominant PG of all time, a lot has changed since the 10 years and if he stayed healthy till now, there's no doubt no one could have caught up with him, only a few.

[@johonanandrewgomes7593]

Just look at the games back then, the defence is SUPER tight, Ja can rely on great spacing, Rose had to drive to the paint while like 4-5 defenders were within 10 feet very often. The defence was much harsher on slashers, so obviously Rose would have a less efficient TS% because he was a slasher.

Ja has a high upside, but he needs to make smarter decisions and learn from his mistakes or he will be just another stat compiler that holds his teams down like a Westbrook.

Similar, but some differences. I think DRose was a lot more bouncy and flexible than Ja, which is why he looks a lot more eye popping on his finishes. Ja has a more well-rounded game, he’s a better shooter. He’s very deliberate and I think he has the higher ball IQ. Rose is cerebral sometimes but he had a more unconscious game in his prime. I think he was faster too. But I think probably the biggest difference is their strength. Ja is wire thin while Rose is built like a mini Lebron. Makes a huge difference in their style of finishes.

I don't think there can be another Derrick Rose, his story alone was crazy enough to make him unique, he's basically a generational talent. Only person who came close to him athletically was Russell Westbrook, and on paper, DRose as still better. Derrick was the best player of his year at that time (his MVP season) and his play style was gritty and rough, he was smooth round the basket though, but Ja is more similar to DRose in terms of their play style, but their game is very different.

Rose was much faster, although Morant has a better recorded vertical by 4 inches.

I don’t like that stat of “the last 11 finals MVPs were forwards”. It’s a little misleading IMO and I’ve seen people try and make the argument that “you can’t win with a scoring point guard”. Look at those teams…Iggy had no business winning MVP over Steph…KD has never won without Steph, honestly Leonard shouldn’t have won the first time, and like the rest are all LeBron who was always the de facto point guard/forward of every team he’s been on. Giannis also didn’t win anything until they upgraded at PG. What I haven’t seen win yet is a team like the Celtics or Clippers that are wing dominant with sub par guard play. I feel like you need that balance you need someone to set the rest of the team up. Or you need a LeBron.
