Washington Wizards guard John Wall, who missed more than two months with a knee injury, told ESPNChicago.com that he believes Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose would be better off sitting out the remainder of the season as he continues to recover from ACL surgery from last May. "I think the organization and the team understands how hard [Rose plays] and what he does for the city and the team, how hard he works and what he wants to bring back to that city," Wall said.
"I feel like [if] I were in the situation I wouldn't really [come back this year] because you don't have enough time to get into a rhythm. Then you get to the playoffs, D-Rose wouldn't be good for that team just playing 20 minutes a game. They're already a good team and good defensively, but to be even better he would have to play more minutes."
Rose told ESPN's Chris Broussard last week that he wouldn't rule out making his season debut in the playoffs rather than rushing a regular-season return. Wall, who went through rehab to fix a stress fracture in his left kneecap, told ESPN that he recently found his rhythm since returning Jan. 12.
"It took me until March to really find my rhythm of getting into game shape," Wall said. "It took so long because the first month, month and a half I was playing 20 minutes.
