Pro: Accelerated Pace Of Play

The game can move faster with Rose and Jennings at the helm. Hornacek used the same two-point guard style in Phoenix, and all three of his teams were in the top 10 in pace.

The Knicks are currently 27th in fast break points and 23rd in points in the paint.

Pairing Rose and Jennings together would produce more opportunities in transition and open shots for bigs in the paint.
