Derrick Rose Provides Additional Bench Depth
The New York Knicks have a great starting five with RJ Barrett and Elfrid Payton leading the guard positions and adding Derrick Rose will provide a great spark off the bench. Rose, 32, still has plenty of juice left and he could be a great role model to learn from for Immanuel Quickley.
The Knicks need to focus on both the present and the future, and luckily for New York, they have a good combination of talent to prepare them for both. Trading for Derrick Rose helps with both.
Adding Derrick Rose to come off the bench provides the Knicks with some veteran leadership at the guard position and Rose is one with NBA MVP level experience under his belt. He knows what it takes to win in the NBA and could help a young team.
If anyone can be a motivational bench presence and mentor to the young talent in New York, it’s Derrick Rose. His impact will be felt in New York as the team looks to crack a playoff spot in the wild Eastern Conference.
