Is Derek Rose a top 10 player?

**raiders510** · 01-22-11, 01:48 PM

yes, yes he is

**Jankar** · 01-22-11, 01:50 PM

I this he is in top 5, pretty good player

**nj6** · 01-22-11, 01:56 PM

No question here.

**Sportsbetting123** · 01-22-11, 01:59 PM

Let's see how he performs in the playoffs for the next couple of years and then judge.

**vyomguy** · 01-22-11, 02:08 PM

he is not top 10....i can easily name 10 other players better than him...he is not even in the top 5 PG's. Rose hasnt proven shiit. Come playoffs, we will see the choke job.

**Bradyd** · 01-22-11, 02:14 PM

In no particular order: Lebron, Wade, Kobe, Howard, Gasol, Paul, Melo, Durant, Dirk... Those are 9 players that are without a doubt in the top 10. I haven't even mentioned Amare, Deron, Duncan, KG, Pierce, Bosh, etc.... As of right now, I would have to say that he is on the level of the latter. He could be sneaked in at 10 but probably not yet... Let's see how the season ends...

**ThisGuy** · 01-22-11, 02:15 PM

Yes. Best PG in the league.

**Shadowcat** · 01-22-11, 02:21 PM

He's not in the Top 10 yet... Give him 2 more years, remember he's only 22 years old. He's always adding to his game so lets wait and see.

**bonduforlife** · 01-22-11, 02:24 PM

1/2)Lebron
1/2)Kobe
3)Wade
4)Dwight
5)Durant
6)Dirk
7)Amare
8)Steve Nash
9)Chris Paul
10)Kevin Love

4. Howard
5. Durant
6. Carmello
7. Stoudemire
8. Dirk
9. D. Williams
10. Pierce?

Rose is top 17ish. Certainly top 3-4 pgs

Good list except Stoudemire and Deron are in the top 10 for sure. You have the best player at each of their respective positions (and I don't even think its close). Paul is not the same player he was 2 years ago, and come on, Duncan and KG are not even in the top 20 players in this league anymore. Its hard to acknolwedge it but its the truth. They are the 4th options on their teams. How can you even sniff the top 10 list if you're not the 1st option on your team??

**Pauulzcappin** · 01-22-11, 02:43 PM

Bryant, James, Wade, Durant, Howard, Dirk, Ginobili, D-Will, Stat, CP3.

2008 KG wasn't the 1st option on the Celtics team and he was arguably the best big man in the game at that time.. And while KG and Duncan are not what they use to be, the are still some of the best players in the league. Clearly not top 10, but I never said they were.

**Love The Action** · 01-22-11, 03:06 PM

Anyone who doesn't have D. Rose in the top 10 right now is just wrong. Furthermore, in a couple more years this guy may be the tops. He has an insatiable drive for basketball, is constantly trying to improve himself and the team, and is not one of these greedy, me-me-me NBA guys...all he cares about is winning. I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't like D.Rose. He's confident, but not cocky and just delivers and wins night in and night out.

**rsnnh12** · 01-22-11, 03:48 PM

1. Lebron
2. Melo
3. Kobe
4. Amare
5. Wade
6. Rondo
7. Dirk
8. Dwight Howard
9. Duncan
10. Durant

No particular order, of course. All better than Rose. Rose is definitely top 20, but not 10 yet. A few more years and he should be there

**Love The Action** · 01-22-11, 04:00 PM

Amare is not top 10 and neither is Duncan (anymore). Rose is better than Rondo...

Chocked as in tie Kareems record for rookie playoff scoring? Chocked like taking the Celtics to 7 games where him and Rondo battled it out in one of the more memorable playoff series in recent memory? Did i mention he was a rookie? Or was it when he went for 27/7 in a series against the big bad Cavs and Lebron?

Ohh wait, i just realized someone with a picture of the Heat in his avator called Rose a choker. And you guys get mad at me for calling people out when most of these gamblers are beyond clueless when it comes to basketball.

**reppin_the_847** · 01-22-11, 04:06 PM

What an idiot you are. D Rose is a hard worker and he shows up just about every game. He may not be a man of much words but he plays the game with passion. Care to back up your silly statement up with some reasoning?

Rose vs Rondo is a great debate.

Duncan and Amare in top 10 is no debate at all, neither player is anywhere close to it. ESPN hype machine did wonders for Amares status this year. Hey Nix fans, how do you like this nice losing streak you got going and your star player bitching about how his elbows, wrists and fingers hurt

? Just wait till he actually gets injured.

Duncan is just a name at this point. glorified role player. And i like him and Spurs a lot, but top 10 is silly.

**kings12** · 01-22-11, 04:37 PM

I don't think he is right now but he certainly he can be in the future. Rose is a game changer.

**rsnnh12** · 01-22-11, 05:01 PM

Okay, then replace those 2 with Pierce/KG/Nash/Ginobili

And why do you say Rose is better than Rondo? I would take Rondo over Rose no question, if I wanted a true PG.

Sorry but that list is a joke. The fact that Melo is at #2 says enough about it.

Rose can easily fit into the top 5, how the hell do Duncan and Amare beat him out? No team can stop this kid, not Dallas, not Miami, not any of the best defensive teams in the league. Every otehr player on that list can get shut down in any given game. So how the hell does Rose not fit in the top 10?

Maybe you missed the "no particular order" part

Who in the top 5 does Rose bump? Do you really think he's better than Lebron, Kobe, Wade, Melo, or Durant??

**onlooker** · 01-22-11, 05:14 PM

I can't believe how much he has improved his 3 point shooting this year, percentage wise, plus I think he has more made this year then his first two years combine. He is a gamer and always looking to improve. If he isn't in the top 10, he is on the outside looking in. Very close too.

Are you trying to sound clueless or does it come naturally?

**Pauulzcappin** · 01-22-11, 05:35 PM

Rose and Rondo is no debate at all, I feel sorry for whoever says that. Rose can actually hit a jump shot to save his life.

**jmilacek** · 01-22-11, 05:38 PM

Yes, he is.

**secret007** · 01-22-11, 05:41 PM

yes, he is.. Easily the top 3 PG in the league CURRENTLY.

Scoring- Rose (not even close, with FTs and jump shots)
Passing- Rondo
Rebounding- wash
Defense- Rondo

If I'm looking for a true PG, I take Rondo all day. If I want a scorer, I take Rose. I guess it depends on what your team needs

**demens** · 01-22-11, 05:48 PM

Jason Kidd was the best pg in the league for about a decade, and he couldn't hit a jump shot to save his life either. Feel sorry for whatever clown doesn't understand there is more to basketball then a jump shot.
