Jalen Rose

Rose struggled through a tough year last season. After 16 games with the Bulls he was averaging just 13.3 PPG, well off his usual 20+ pace. The trade to the Raptors revived him somewhat, until a broken hand cost him another 16 games. His final numbers, scoring excepted, were up to his standards however (5.0 APG, 4.0 RPG, 0.8 SPG), and as a key component in the new Raptors’ offense Rose should rebound to near 20 points a night once again. If he can find his range from downtown again as well (133 three-pointers in 2002-2003, but only 69 last year), so much the better.
