Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose continued to open eyes Tuesday in Team USA’s training camp as he makes his way back from the torn meniscus in his right knee that cost him all but 10 games of the past season.

“That’s my biggest surprise coming in here,” Syracuse coach and Team USA assistant Jim Boeheim told ESPNChicago.com, in reference to Rose’s performance. “The one thing I was worried about is whether he would be able to step in after so much time [off]. He looks, to me, as good as when we had him in the world championship in ’10, when he was at full strength coming [into] an MVP year. He looks very, very good.”
