Scott Skiles Annoints Derrick Rose A Star


For a coach who tosses compliments around like manhole covers, it was pleasant to hear Scott Skiles give his thoughts on Derrick Rose.

"The guy's a star.  He's beyond quick and fast, and he's so powerful. He can go to the rim and finish. He has unique shots in the paint that he makes — floaters, runners. And that doesn't even mention that he sees the floor and passes the ball. He's going to be very hard to handle."

Sadly, Skiles never had the opportunity to use the word "star" to categorize any of the Bulls players he coached during his 4 years in Chicago.
