    Why would it be expected? Dude hasn't played a full season in four years.

    Typically, players who were fast and explosive before tearing their meniscus and are patient and diligent with their rehab, return with speed and explosiveness. Why should Rose be different?

    He looked neither that fast nor explosive at the start of last season. We'll see how he is after the latest knee surgery.

    This may be a semantics thing. When Rose came back, I didn't have a problem with how fast he ran or how high he jumped. I thought those basic athletic abilities were fine. I'll agree that "explosiveness" is a slightly different thing. It's the ability to utilize those basic athletic abilities with timing that creates suddenness. No, Rose didn't show that type of explosiveness.

    The facts are simple. He had a great preseason, as did the Bulls. When the real games started, that did not continue.
