Most honest answer. He’s clearly respecting the level of talent and the game where it is. He would still be great but he would get better as he would have to improve his jumper quick
Id say definitely. With the way he played back then before the injuries he'd still be the youngest mvp still. Also the injuries i say wouldn't happen because of the new medical treatment he'd be getting and the minutes as well. Be very different
Being 10 when he was drafted and witnessing every single moment as a Chicago kid, I can most certainly say, bro would be top 5 guard today. There's no one who would've been able to stay in front of him
Comments full of delusional nostalgia fans and haters. No in between. I don't think he'd be that much better than Brunson. But I think he'd be eerily similar to Donovan Mitchell. My only fear is now that the nba is even more taxing on the body. And I'm not sure if his knee health was entirely genetics, coaching, or conditioning.
You can’t just drop him in 2026 …. That would be a better Ja Morant
The question is really … what kind of player would he be if he was born in 2008 …
Because if he were drafted in 2026 he would have grown up during the curry/harden 3 pt era … his athleticism would be the same But he’d naturally be a better shooter just based on how the game is played now.
more points or not, he would definitely average 10 assists in this era. D Rose was much closer to a pure point than a scoring guard and he said many times on record he prefers to set his teammates up for easy points
Definitely would as long as he got teamed with a stretch 5. Think about how Giannis is thriving. Rose would just be a smaller version. Same with a young Westbrook, a young lebron a young D Wade and a young Blake Griffin. Any elite athlete with playmaking skills that attacks the rim would thrive in this era so long as they play with a stretch big.
In today's NBA Rose will be the ultimate teammate because after he gets about 20 points inside from slashing and decimating opponents, he would draw double teams that would lead to wide open shots. If his teammates have a good shooting clip he would help provide an offense with incredibly high scores. Just my opinion.
That's why D Rose is unique. Every other single mfer LOVES to say they would average +15 points more than what they did in their time. Every single one of them. Rose is a humble guy. Ps: he will kill it in any era anyway

Derrick Rose was playing with Ronnie Brewer, Boozer, and Noah. Imagine how much space Rose would have if he had a bunch of shooting wings.
Glass knees.
Wouldnt matter.

Most overrated MVP season ever
Any great player drafted today would have a much improved 3 point shot. Training back then didn’t prioritize it like it does now.

His first answer was the right one. He said, yeah. League MVP. If the lane is open, why shoot 3's especially when the lane is open?

He’d be a lot like Ant
I always wished sports science would have done a dunk for with him and westbrook back in the day
I appreciate the humility. But if Ja can be a superstar in the modern era then so can Rose.
The lane wasn’t open in the 90’s and Jordan averaged 37 one year.
Well considering all the injuries he's had. I think I'd cook with them 3's as much as possible.
Lol…a prime ja morant was better n he didn't average that much
Who cares, we are sick and fed up of bread and circuses making morons rich.
!🙌✝️🏀🫡🙏
He would defenintly kill
We’ll see how much all these guards gonna be averaging when I put Cason Wallace pls the whole OKC team on them
This guy was ja morant times 10. D rose would kill it in this points inflated era
more points or not, he would definitely average 10 assists in this era. D Rose was much closer to a pure point than a scoring guard and he said many times on record he prefers to set his teammates up for easy points
Were not guna pretend like d rose played in the 90s. He did play in this era.

If he was drafted today he would just be an average player. Maybe a Malik Monk level player
