I think they want to make sure Rose is 100% because of his STYLE, he uses a lot of ankle breakers and quick cuts and quick footwork way more then Peterson does, Peterson cuts and even after the knee injury he still uses that quick cut move...but Rose Cuts are quicker and sharper and MORE OFTEN! So yes it is wise to maybe not even let Rose play this season if it is any type of setback during the rehabbing of that knee
What is the RUSH? I am willing to sacrifice a season to get Rose back 100%...But regardless just like Chris Paul and Tim Hardaway after their knee injuries, Rose is going to have to CHANGE HIS GAME, he is going to have to become a more CONSISTENT SHOOTER just like those two did after their Knee Injuries, they too was quick and explosive and have amazing crossovers and all that stuff and was able to get to the basket anytime they wanted to, but after the Knee Injuries I think you RISK RE-INJURING that Knee if you try to play the exact same way as you did before the injury...Rose was already becoming a better shooter so I think he will be fine, what the Bulls also need to do is ADD ANOTHER SCORER/GO TO GUY to take the pressure off of Rose and so Rose doesn't feel the need to have to DO EVERYTHING when he comes back
YEAP! Peterson is just a FREAK OF NATURE, his injury would have ended most RB's careers back in the day, Peterson looks better then ever right now, haven't lost a step at all, what he is doing is just AMAZING!
