[Tacker]

In an interview (http://slamonline.com/online/nba/200...-derrick-rose/)

Rose says h patterns his game after a prime Steve Francis. Said Francis had "everything" and if he could reach his potential of a Prime Francis that would be "great."

What do you guys think about Rose trying to pattern his game after "Franchise"?

Discuss.

"That's hot and sounds real sexy."

[Spursfan092120]

But...why?

[Double-Up]

If he could be Stevie Franchise with a high basketball IQ he is on his way to the HOF. He'll never have his leaping ability though.

[baseline bum]

Horrible player to pattern himself after. Francis was garbage; he is literally the stupidest point guard I have ever seen in the league.

[jman3000]

Let's hope he doesn't pattern his medical history after Francis as well.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

D-Rose isn't as "smart for a rookie" as we all though

[baseline bum]

"That's hot and sounds real sexy."

Poor Cuttino. Stevie broke his heart.

[Kamala]

He's copying his pattern of early playoff exits.

[JamStone]

Did you notice the painted toe nails?

[angelbelow]

Poor Cuttino. Stevie broke his heart.

i believe that it was the other way around

[Rogue]

Rose can't jump as high as the prime SF did though.

[dirk4mvp]

I hope he finds someone else to pattern it after. Steve Francis was and will always be ing garbage.

[Yuushi12]

Let's hope he doesn't pattern his medical history after Francis as well.

@ topic rose will be better come his prime

[Biggems]

why not pattern his game after Tim Hardaway, Mark Jackson, Gary Payton, etc....Steve Francis? I guess Stephon Marbury as a role model was already taken

Francis used his dribble to create space to get his shot off. He also had a crazy crossover that broke ankles left and right. The only other part of his game that Francis excelled at was getting to the hole and dunking.
