He's not, he thrived in the role we had him in, and when he started we loss the last 3 games..

Seems that way. I wonder, though, if they consulted this idea with him. I mean, wasn’t he set on being more of a bench player now? Did anything change and re-energize him to shoot for the starting lineup? This makes no sense unless they really set themselves for Rose as a starter.

I hope we start Immanuel Quickley. Kid drained over 100 3's as a Rookie, has a beautiful floater, made an NBA All-Rookie team and also a team USA Select selection. Sky could be the limit for this kid with a Steph Curry type of game to him.

Continue developing his passing ability, court vision and playmaking ability and we could have ourselves a future All-Star @ PG for many of years to come because it's not easy to become the SEC Player of the Year @ Kentucky; which is what he did.

So yeah I'm disheartened we missed out on the likes of Lonzo Ball, CP3 and Kyle Lowry but maybe now it's Immanuel Quickley who gets to become the beneficiary of it all.

I love this kid man.

Rose is a 6th man now. His days starting at PG are over. The hawks series showed it

So right now, even if he is best as a 6th man, Rose has to be our starter. IQ, unless he has been working on his playmaking and we will see in Summer League, he is also stronger as the man coming in with Rose off the bench. Which means that right now the hopes is of either Vildoza or Deuce being better in playmaking than IQ that they can claim the starting nod. Considering we started Payton for so long, it wouldn’t be a shocker to see one of them start if they show their worth.

Something else is probably in the works. Or Thibs said he's comfortable with IQ or Burks starting at PG with Rose off the bench until they can land a Lillard or Fox level player via trade. But smart money seems to indicate Knicks might be trying to grab Jalen Brunson from Dallas too.
