By KC Johnson"Three or four of his turnovers were plays he usually makes," coach Vinny Del Negro said. "We'll continually work with him on that stuff. He threw this one pass over the top on this pick-and-roll and we've been working with him to step through. Those floating passes get picked off. We can't have that many turnovers."
Rose knows. One is too many for him.
"I need to get low with the ball and protect it," Rose said.
Rose continues to shoot at a solid percentage and the fact that six of his seven field goals against Philadelphia on Saturday came on drives or floaters is an encouraging sign. But through nine games his three turnovers per game is .51 higher than last season's average, while his assists average (5.3) is one fewer.
