No JJ. You are wrong here. The high-screen offense is killing the Bulls.

He is a low percentage shooter/ high turnover player which is not a winning formula in the nba.

I agree JJ, I have him on my Fantasy team, so I watch him closely. His FG% and TO's are killing me, not to mention the fact that he produces virtually no 3's from that positon. I've been trying to trade him for a month with no luck, everyone is up on the fact that he is much more hype than substance....

All his numbers are down this season because there's no Gordon around to take the heat off of him.

Now teams are focusing on him which is why he's regressed.

5starstiff claimed he would be better than Chris Paul. About as spot-on as his prediction that Milton Bradley would help the Cubs to the World Series.

I'm not saying he has been great this season. I'm suggesting that the Bulls are not putting him in the best position to use his talents. At Memphis the kid primarily played a drive-and-kick offense. He'd break his guy down and kick if others collapsed. The high-screen the Bulls run clogs up the lane. He's left dribbling between multiple defenders.

I agree, he turns it over way too much. I'm just not going to say the Bulls' problems are his fault.

How can a kid like Derrick Rose be killing a team that's been dead since Jordan & Co. left town?
