[QUOTE=Vendetta]Did I just read someone say that speed and explosiveness are SKILLS? Hahaha... just when I thought this place couldn't get any dumber. Oh well.[/QUOTE]
Physical skills... athletic abilities.... poe-tay-toe... poe-tah-toe... toe-may-toe... toe-mah-toe...
Did you not read the entire post or something? How did you not recognize that I broke skills down into three distinct categories?

Steve Francis in his prime was a bad man yeah Drose aint no JKidd he like a Unaccomplished Steve Francis skill wise
you guys got kwame'd.
Derrick Rose's career path will in no way resemble Kwame Brown's. He definitely proved himself at the college level, which Kwame never did before the Wizards wasted a pick on him.
That is a ridiculous statement.
I don't see him turning out like Steve Francis either, I think he is smarter than that. He will be, like many have said, a top point guard in this league in 3-5 years.
The Bulls may have been better going with Beasley, but Rose is certainly not a bust. He hasn't even played a regular season game yet, he'll be a great point guard.
Not a bust yet -.- One game hasnt even been played yet.. but he wont be a bust, jsut wont be a succesful #1 pick in his first year.
Let's give this kid some time to prove himself. I'm sure he won't be a bust even though he'll never be as good as Beasley. I'd say he'll probably improve into the next Chauncey Billups.

More athletic and faster, so how about an improved Chauncey Billups if that is the direction you want to take? That actually sounds okay to me, considering how strong he is, but you can't see he has, may never have, as nice a jumper as Billups.

Improved? So he'll lead Chicago to a championship in 4-5 years, be Finals MVP, get to a second finals, and a 3-4 time all star? That would actually just be mathing Billups. He'd have to win 2 championships, get to another, and be a 4-5 time all star to be an "improved billups."

In terms of his game, lol. So fast to attack that statement, hey? Like when a scout says, he'll be a poor man's [insert name], that doesn't mean he will achieve half as many or three quarters as many awards or accomplishments that the player gets.
I mean improved Billups because he is more athletic and faster, although with much less of a jumper. Or I could say, "a richer man's Chauncey Billups".
he can start with trying to become as good as stuckey for now, focus on the billups part a little later :)
I'm acting as a "scout" here, I say best case scenario "rich man's Billups".
Which doesn't mean take Chauncey's accomplishments and multiply them by 2 to the power of 3.

The accomplishment of said players should be taken into account. If he's an improved Billups he should be able to improve on Billups' accomplishments.
hmmm Francis is the best comparison to me. Not a bad thing, cos an injury free Francis with a great attitude would have been considered an all time great PG.
