 Rose has gotten off to an extremely slow start this season, and wearing a mask while recovering from an orbital contusion could certainly explain his drop in efficiency.

He's misfiring badly on his jump shot and he's resorted to exclusively attacking the basket, but he's having trouble finishing as well.

Rose is averaging 13.6 points per game on 37.7 percent shooting from the field and 15 percent from deep. He's being outplayed by backup Aaron Brooks, and the Bulls are 6.6 points per 100 possessions worse when Rose takes the floor.

Minnesota Timberwolves - Karl-Anthony Towns

Karl-Anthony Towns

We all know Karl-Anthony Towns is probably going to be a very good NBA Player by the end of his career. Learning from the Veteran Kevin Garnett makes his chances even higher.

During, the Minnesota Timberwolves Monday home game against the Portland Trailblazers, the rookie defends the paint getting an sensational block on All-Star Damian Lillard.

The Timberwolves (2-1) went on to lose their first game 106-101, but it should be a great confidence booster as they take on Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat (2-1) Thursday, Nov 5 at home.
