Derrick Rose, once the youngest MVP in history with the Chicago Bulls, has faced multiple injuries, including an ACL tear in 2012 and a meniscus tear shortly after. His career never regained its former glory, but he managed to stay relevant, earning mentions for the Sixth Man of the Year award intermittently since 2018.

Currently with the Memphis Grizzlies, Rose's performance has diminished significantly. Averaging limited games and struggling offensively, he may not be the solution for the Charlotte Hornets’ backcourt weaknesses.
