I don't understand what it means about Frontcourt and the Backcourt of both conferences.
Based on this site, Alex Caruso has a million votes in Backcourt of the Western Conference which is really surprising since he has more votes than other players that are also doing well in the season. He's not being talked about that much but this proves how great of a player he is if these votes are accurate.
Well, i can understand a little bit, but frontcourt players are considered to be the big players, example SF, PF and C. And backcourt are the smaller players, SG and PG.
I confess, Caruso had these millions of votes because he is very beloved to the fans and also because he is a "meme player", because sometimes someone makes fun of him or something like that.
Caruso has improved a lot lately, and I believe he can improve even more.
Here's the definition of front court players and back court players so you will not be confuse.
https://www.sportsrec.com/8338357/what-is-the-difference-between-the-frontcourt-the-backcourt-in-basketball Frontcourt Positions
The small forward, power forward and center are collectively designated as a basketball team’s frontcourt. Typically, these players play near the baseline, which is the out-of-bounds line under each basket. On offense, these players constantly move from one side of the key to the other in an attempt to free themselves to take an open shot. When used in relation to these players, the term frontcourt usually refers to their offensive responsibilities, but also carries implications to the players they defend.
Backcourt Positions
A point guard and shooting guard are collectively referred to as a basketball team’s backcourt and are commonly the players that advance the ball into the side of the court on which their team is attempting to score. The shooting guard is typically responsible for scoring the most points between the two guards, while the point guard is expected to create plays by passing the ball to open players, such as the forwards and center. Usually, these responsibilities vary based upon the type of defense the opposing team uses and on the strengths and weaknesses of particular opposing players.
Hmmmm, thanks for help me @stadus, i understood these concepts a little bit, because in my country where I live, we rarely use these names.
Sadly he merely a shadow of himself since the injury. Still pretty explosive with his footwork and drive to the basket but the league have become a lot more athletic on average, than the time Rose was the MVP.
Rose was the best, he made history, he was the ROY and the MVP and he was only 21 years old that time if I'm not wrong. That's so special, even the legend admire him and was amaze by the way he play, unfortunately a serious injury ended that, and although he is not anymore on his prime but people are still happy seeing him in the league.
If I'm not wrong, Derrick Rose won the MVP award at the age of 22, but he was the youngest player in history to win the MVP award.
I am sad to know that he is no longer the same, because of his injuries, but I have no doubt that if he did not have the injuries he could be one of the greatest players in the NBA
Another player, came in my mind now, and that his performance dropped a lot because of injuries was Isaiah Thomas.
Gusy, a have a question, do you think in the future, Derrick Rose and Isaiah Thomas can improve their performance and return to being the star of the team?
