Since signing with the Cleveland Cavaliers over the offseason, former All-Star guard Derrick has voiced nothing but praise about the organization and the way it’s run.

According to Alex Squadron of the New York Post, Rose says he enjoys the freedom on the court that he wasn’t able to have in his lone campaign with the New York Knicks.

“[With the Cavaliers], I get to do whatever I want,” Rose said, before his team’s 112-107 loss to the Netson Wednesday night at Barclays Center, though he sat with a sprained left ankle. “In New York, I couldn’t. It was just simple. That’s why I made the transition.”

The Knicks had plenty of dysfunction on the court last season as their offensive system under head coach Jeff Hornacek was influenced by then-team president Phil Jackson, which the triangle offense doesn’t lend particularly well to point guards.

On top of that, Rose was often times critical of that offensive scheme that he felt was limiting the team’s success offensively. The 28-year-old now has all that freedom that he needs to playmake with the Cavaliers by utilizing his scoring ability at the point guard position while also be the primary ball handler for the second unit.

Although he’s dealing with an ankle injury, Rose has put himself in a situation where he could make a positive impact on the game within his unique skill set.
