Washington Wizards guard John Wall, who missed more than two months with a knee injury, believes Derrick Rose would be better off sitting out the rest of the season as he recovers from May 12 ACL surgery.

"I think the organization and the team understands how hard [Rose plays] and what he does for the city and the team, how hard he works and what he wants to bring back to that city," Wall said. "So I think [based off] what he has already done, they would understand if he didn't come back.

"I feel like [if] I were in the situation I wouldn't really [come back this year] because you don't have enough time to get into a rhythm. Then you get to the playoffs, D-Rose wouldn't be good for that team just playing 20 minutes a game. They're already a good team and good defensively, but to be even better he would have to play more minutes."

Wall, who went through rehab to fix a stress fracture in his left kneecap, said he has just recently found his rhythm since returning Jan. 12.

"It took me until March to really find my rhythm of getting into game shape," Wall said. "It took so long because the first month, month and a half I was playing 20 minutes. You play five minutes a quarter, you can't really find yourself, so it's very tough. But when you get to start starting and playing more minutes you start to find yourself again, so it was pretty tough at the beginning."
