Im gonna say it,hate me or not D rose is the most overrted player today in the nba lets review the offense...run and gun can barely shoot and passes as good as tony allen lets see defense................NO DEFENSE
"Passes as good as Tony Allen," hyperbole much?
Derrick Rose qualified as overrated only insofar as his selection as MVP was well beyond questionable. That said, The faulty collective judgment of the sportswriting establishment does not make his season any less excellent.

Ditto, Professor.
To say that Rose plays NO DEFENSE in a Tom Thibodeau system is absurd. I'm guessing that if Rose had the kind of offensive weapons Rondo does, he'd have done a lot less shooting and a lot more passing. That said, I still think Rondo is a better fit for our team.
The Rose MVP selection was about market expansion, IMHO. If the same guy keeps getting the award there are no new stars created.
Rose is far from overrated. He had a helluva year and so did his team.
