Derrick Rose Will Play In Memphis Again
Next season, Rose will play for the Memphis Grizzlies and attempt a comeback in what will seem like a homecoming for him. Rose spent his one and only year in the NCAA with the University of Memphis, despite the fact that he was born and raised in Chicago. He hopes to serve as a role model for Ja Morant because of the respect and admiration he has earned in the community.
The Grizzlies’ point guard rotation has seen some changes over the summer, but Rose will strengthen it. The team lost backup guard Tyus Jones, and now Morant won’t play for the first quarter of the season. Rose and Marcus Smart will most likely share leadership of the role in the meantime.
In his 15th NBA season, Rose will be looking to improve upon his 5.6 point, 1.5 rebound, and 1.7 assist average from last year’s limited minutes with the Knicks.
