[quote name='dustdust']I don't recall any player who had the same speed/explosiveness after an ACL tear. Baron Davis, Chris Webber, Tim Hardaway, Brandon Roy, Shaun Livingston, and Michael Redd all suffered ACL injuries and none were the same since. However, that doesn't mean that Rose can get back to playing at an MVP-level. He may not be as quick and explosive as before, but he should still have great speed and an improving jumpshot to help him lead the Bulls[/QUOTE]
Adrian Peterson.
Rose was actually slow laterally - his draft workout agility drill was actually slower than DeJuan Blair. Yes, 280 pound and no ACLs DeJuan Blair. It's why he's a matador on defense. This injury might actually improve his lateral quickness, since he'll assuredly have to work on lateral movement in his rehab, something he clearly neglected prior to the injury.
