Jalen Rose was one of the famed Michigan Five during his college years.
He is an excellent backcourt scorer, with precise shooting and well-rounded abilities, demonstrating strong organization and assist skills alongside decent defense.
He was selected by the Nuggets in the draft, and after two seasons, he was traded to the Pacers. Under Adelman's leadership, he made quick progress and became a crucial part of the team's bench.
Because of his versatility, every time he came off the bench, he could immediately impact either end of the court, which made him a vital asset for Adelman, serving as the team's go-to relief player.
Whenever the situation shifted or problems arose, Adelman would call Jalen Rose, telling him, "Go score," "Take care of so-and-so," or "Organize the offense properly."
This type of all-around player is well-received by coaches, and Adelman excels at utilizing such players.
