The Cleveland Cavaliers won their opening game against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday, and Derrick Rose contributed to the victory. He scored 14 points in the win and only turned the ball over twice.
On the surface, this seems like a fairly positive way to debut on a new team for a veteran point guard. No one will have a negative opinion of a guard who can score a decent amount of points and also keep control of the basketball.
When you look deeper into Rose’s numbers, however, they tell something of a different story.
