Memphis waives Derrick Rose

Does Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant and his play on the court remind him of his former teammate on the Bulls and Knicks, Derrick Rose? “I think so,” he said. “I see it. I see a lot of similarities. They're definitely the favorites around. It's cool. I think there are similarities in their explosiveness. Physically, I think D-Rose is a little bit more explosive. There are definitely differences in their game.” Noah also commented on which current NBA players remind him of his style of play during his prime. “I don't think there's another Joakim,” he said. “Everyone is different. There are similarities and certain things. But maybe Draymond. I would say. Draymond would be the closest. I think he can shoot a little bit better. But I think the way he leads, the way he passes the ball, the energy he plays with, I think those are all similarities.” -via ScoopB.com / September 6, 2024
