The Bulls select a wonderful back up for DRose:

Jrue Holiday

Great pick.

Hmmm... I don't know i'd call this wonderful or great...

could someone explain how a 19-year-old backup (Holiday) makes sense for the 21-year-old Rose?

Rose's age hasn't been an issue as far as him leading a team and being the focus of an offense or caused any descent on the team. Meanwhile, Holiday has had no problem backing up the 23 year old Lou Williams and still produce. I really don't see the problem.

sorry, hastily penned posts don't help much.

I didn't mean to question Holiday's talent, but rather that the 21-year-old Rose will have his hands full learning the position and won't be able to develop Holiday.

Rose also doesn't benefit from mentoring by a backup.

I know coaches do some of this, but more and more it's clear its the veteran teammates --- the Sam Mitchells (KG), Ray Allens (Rondo) Nate McMillans (Eric Snow) --- that teach young-uns to be true professionals, true stars.

I think too often you have a team with loads of young talent -- take Washington a few years back --- but they can't make that next step b/c no one has taught/mentored that talent to harness their gifts. Heck look at Holiday's PHI team now... loads of young talent, no one to help mold it it seems.

I'd fear that happening with Rose, Holiday or both in this configuration....

just my 2cents.


Who is mentoring Rose now?

Lindsey Hunter.

Lindsey Hunter.

Right.

FWIW, i don't think it's any accident that our "assistant coaches" have included Cassell and Ty Lue --- instead of other ex-players looking to get into coaching.

Don't get me wrong.... Rose and Holiday are exciting young talents. I think there's just always a bias in these drafts towards talent-only rather than how that talent fits...

Great pick.

Also glad to see Lindsey Hunter being name dropped. I just read that the 39 year old, two time NBA champion, Celtic for one second, and Bulls team captain plans to retire at the end of the season.

He could turn into a heck of a player if he ever gets it.  He has the tools and the skillset.
