When the New York Knicks traded for veteran point guard Derrick Rose, nobody expected him to be such an influential piece this season. The three-time All-Star is averaging 12.9 points, 3.9 assists, and is shooting .432 from the field. In other words, he has been fantastic for a team that desperately needed support at the position.
To showcase just how influential Rose has been, let’s take a look at his last performance against New Orleans Pelicans when he scored 23 points. Rose shot 9-of-17 from the field and 2-of-4 from three-point land, also connecting on 3-of-4 free throws.
