    Brogdon would be a nice 6th man, put him in for either rose or middleton

    Very fair article on his play last season. Being a Knick adds context though, sorry @Ben

    Only thing that bothered me was the way he wouldn't consistently hit the open kickout when he got into the paint, and his defense.

    His 3 ball was improving when he was younger but for some reason he got gun shy with it last year, think he was only attempting 1 per game. Not sure how much of that is on him or the offense but you gotta at least put a few up to keep the D honest.

    Booz & Noah missed like 80 combined games that year, Kurt Thomas, Keith Bogans, and Ronnie Brewer consistently closed games for that team, not to mention Bron joined Wade who put up an MVP caliber 26-6-4 stat line himself and they STILL didn't win as many games as the Bulls did. We started Bogans & Kurt Thomas 37 times that year lol.

    Derrick made Chicago a top 10 and top 5 offense in separate seasons. The two seasons without him since, Chicago has been 23rd and 28th. Equivalent to a lottery team. On January 20th, 2011 Chicago beat Dallas and Rose joined an elite group. He had a game high 26 PTS to go along with 9 AST and 7 REB. The unusual part of Derrick's night was that none of his teammates scored double digits. Over the last decade only two other teams have won a game in which one player scored double digits, the Cavs behind a 30 point Lebron performance in '08 and the Lakers behind Kobe's 62 in '05.

    Out of 120 possible 1st place votes, Derrick received 113. Four 1st place votes went to Lebron. It was a landslide, a near unanimous selection. Rose had 97.7% of the possible point shares in the 2011 MVP voting. He received more combined points in the voting than Howard and Lebron combined. To suggest that media favoritism swung the scales THAT HEAVILY is absolutely ridiculous.

    Do you know how many players in the modern era have totaled 2,000 points and 600 assists in a single season? Only three. Those three are Michael Jordan, Lebron James and Derrick Rose. No one, not even MJ and Bron, have ever done it twice. No one did it at the PG position, no one did it at 6'3" and no one did it at age 22. Except for Derrick Rose in 2011.

    "I think it's Derrick Rose, definitely. He's the leader. What he's done for that team, with all the injuries they have and for them being first in the Eastern Conference - they're playing some really good basketball."
    • Lebron James himself when asked by ESPN's Mike Wallace to weigh in on the MVP race.
