A reborn Derrick Rose at Detroit Pistons?
Let's take a look his performance over Detroit’s first three games. He recorded 18 pts, 9 assist, 3 rebounds, shooting 55 FG% in 27 min. of playing. On the second game, he tallied 27 pts, 3 assist, 69 FG% in 25 min. While he scored 31 pts, 3 assist, 3 rebounds, 66 FG% from the field in 26 minutes against Philadelphia 76ers.
Despite the lost against 76ers and the absence of their star Blake Griffen, Derrick Rose was on fire scoring 31 points on 15-of-22 shooting with 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks and 1 3-pointer in 26 minutes. What's interesting about it, even with a limited playing time he managed to be efficient in scoring and with a high percentage shooting. He don't even play as a starter instead he came from the bench.
Rose has a good start on his Pistons career scoring 76 points in his first three games with the team. The former youngest MVP showed his dominance from inside the paint, as well as his mid range shots. He become more diverse in scoring. What's even better is the way he's perserving his body with those dunks we used to see are now layups, floaters and jellyrolls. He developed such a great touch from the outside and midrange. If he could have stayed healthy, he would have some incredible stats to back up how good he really is.
