There were some highs and some lows for Rose in 2016. He played more games than in the last three seasons combined, but was he a better player?

Following the career of Derrick Rose can give one a headache.

What started off as an extremely promising career: rookie of the year, 36points and 11 assists against the defending champion Celtics in his first playoff game (seriously, this game is worth a second look), all star in his second season, and youngest MVP in NBA history. It all changed after the ACL tear.

Rose has not been the same player since that career altering injury, but at least this year, Rose was able to stay on the court.
