“#Knicks\u2019 Derrick Rose already making impact: \u2018Student of the game<\/a>\u2019<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Derrick Rose enjoyed his third straight impactful game Saturday with the Knicks since he was acquired last weekend from Detroit.<\/p>\n

Before scoring 16 points in 23 minutes off the bench in Saturday\u2019s win over Houston, Rose stayed up late the previous night studying videos with assistant coach Andy Greer at the team\u2019s Westchester training facility after the Knicks returned from Washington late Friday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a great student of the game,\u201d coach Tom Thibodeau said of Rose. \u201cHe\u2019s always had that. I think that is what has allowed him to adapt, grow and change. I think you see that with a lot of players that are dominant players. They are constantly adding to their game.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it doesn\u2019t surprise me. I think he\u2019s put a lot of time into trying to understand his new teammates and what their strengths are and how he can better effectively use them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rose, who has been wearing No. 4 in his first three games since the Knicks acquired him last weekend from Detroit, also is nearly down to his rookie playing weight after enduring multiple knee injuries during his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, that\u2019s something I can brag about,\u201d Rose said after scoring 14 points in 20 minutes in Friday\u2019s win in Washington. \u201cI don\u2019t brag about too much. But I\u2019m close to 200 pounds, I\u2019m probably at 202 right now. When I came into the league, I was 198. And my body fat is 5.9 [percent].<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I made a big effort this summer making sure I had to trim down, especially when you had so many operations on your knees.\u201d<\/p>\n
