You probably know more about his situation in Toronto than I do. Rose was actually fairly well liked the year before last, and some fans I knew called him Captain Crunch for his clutch play. Alston, for all his complaining, actually wasn't a bad producer that year, and they had a guy named Chris Bosh who I hear is pretty good.
I think Donyell Marshall was also on that team that year, and he shot extraordinarily well, tying the 12 3s in a game record. But yeah, other than those guys and maybe Mo Pete, the team was pretty miserable.
