The New York Knicks are encouraging their new floor general to be more aggressive in looking for his own shot.
Per ESPN:
Rose was asked after Knicks practice on Monday if he wants to show this season that he still is an elite point guard.
“Yeah, but I know I am,” he said. “That’s no surprise to me. It’s only a matter of time until I put it together. All the hard work I put in, everything how I dedicated my whole life to this game, what I sacrificed. It’s only a few that did it and that’s doing it. So it’s all about just putting it together.”
Rose believes that the Knicks will be difficult to guard in the pick-and-roll with players like Joakim Noah, Carmelo Anthony, Kristaps Porzingis, Courtney Lee and Brandon Jennings. […] “It’s pick your poison,” Rose said. “My job is to create a double team so the weak side has a hard time closing down on shooters.”
