Karl-Anthony Towns said he has seen glimpses of an MVP-caliber Derrick Rose early on this preseason. While that is high praise for his teammate, Rose has looked good so far in the early stages for the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Truth believes that Rose still has the ability to be a quality starter in the league despite struggling with nagging injuries over the last several seasons. If Rose can stay healthy, Rose’s season could surprise some people.

“Derrick Rose, where he’s at right now, is more than a serviceable player,” Pierce said. “To me, he’s still a starter in this league.”
