October 29, 201312 yr This is what made me second guess my choice. Both can score. Both can defend. KI is a better passer and ball handler. KI has a better stroke as well. Am I crazy? Is the former Dukie, KI, better than DRose? He doesn't get to the rack like DRose. And I'm interested in seeing if he really added 5" to his vertical. I've watched the Heat/Bulls twice in person from about 6 rows up. The most amazing thing about DRose is how small a gap he can get through. Simply pushes out the dribble thru it then his body follows. My plan is to see the Cavs in Indy this season. I think KI would be great in person.

October 29, 201312 yr KI is a better shooter than DRose. Rose is on a whole other level of athlete than KI.
October 29, 201312 yr That's the biggest advantage to me. Rose advantages are penetration, scoring in the paint, and defense. KI isn't near the defender of Rose.
October 29, 201312 yr Rose advantages are penetration, scoring in the paint, and defense. KI isn't near the defender of Rose. I think they are close on defense. I agree with the rest. Rose is also a much much better athlete.
October 29, 201312 yr I think they are close on defense. I agree with the rest. Rose is also a much much better athlete. Scary thing I've read is how much Rose improved his shot. If his 3pt shot jumps from 31% to say 37%-39% how scary would he be?
October 29, 201312 yr KI.... Kyrie Irving Stats - Cleveland Cavaliers - ESPN DRose......... Derrick Rose Stats, News, Videos, Highlights, Pictures, Bio - Chicago Bulls - ESPN
October 29, 201312 yr Scary thing I've read is how much Rose improved his shot. If his 3pt shot jumps from 31% to say 37%-39% how scary would he be? Stupid scary. Don't forget he said he added 5" to his vertical also.
October 29, 201312 yr Stupid scary. Don't forget he said he added 5" to his vertical also. Seriously?
October 29, 201312 yr That's what he is claiming.......5".......... Wow, adding 5 inches is impressive.
October 29, 201312 yr Wow, adding 5 inches is impressive. Unless they put bungee cords in there, I think he's exaggerating. :lol2:
