Derrick Rose accounted for 14 points (5-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one rebound, three assists, one steal, one block and two 3-pointers in 20 minutes Tuesday vs. Miami.
Rose let rookies Immanuel Quickley and Obi Toppin know upon his arrival that he was there to help them grow, and the veteran guard made good on that promise Tuesday night. He connected with Toppin on a nice alley-oop during the first half, and Rose had good chemistry with Quickley when they shared the court. Quickly played 21 minutes, finishing with seven points (2-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, three assists, one steal and one 3-pointer. If one game is an indication of what?s to come, Knicks fans and fantasy managers who want to see Quickley on the floor shouldn?t be too concerned. Rose will get his minutes, but so will Quickley. The odd man out on Tuesday was Austin Rivers, who was a DNP-CD.
