Through 17 games, point guard Derrick Rose has shown enough progress that a lucrative new contract could be in store for him with the Knicks this summer.

However, Rose, who scored a season-high 30 points Monday in a 112-103 loss to Oklahoma City, can get some security now if Knicks president Phil Jackson is convinced later this season he doesn’t view him as just a one-year rental.

Because Rose’s last contract was more than three years ago, the former Bull is eligible for one of those pre-free-agency “veteran extensions’’ that Russell Westbrook signed over the summer.

By CBA rules, Rose’s veteran extension can only be three years long and start at 7.5 percent higher than his current wage. The extension package would be for approximately three years, $75 million.

“I haven’t talked to them about it,’’ Rose told The Post. “It’s been more about winning games. We’ll see. I’m more concerned with trying to win games, but it’s something I’d have to talk about with my family and team.’’

According to an NBA source, the Knicks have not approached Rose about an extension, but have not ruled it out for late in the season. The Knicks apparently want to make sure his body holds up across a full season and would be willing to pay more this summer if they had to.

Rose is the 14th-highest-paid player in the NBA this season at $21.3 million. If he signs an extension now, next season’s salary would begin at $23 million. His wage would go to $24.6 million in Year 2 and $26.2 million in Year 3.

Not bad — unless you believe Rose will play his way into a max deal this summer, considering the escalating salary cap and ridiculous pacts being dispensed.

If he waits until this summer, Rose’s maximum starting salary could be as high as $29 million. That would allow him a chance to sign a five-year package worth $175 million if he stays with the Knicks — four years if he leaves.

Rose, 28, said he wanted to learn more about those specifics. Players in similar boats are Utah’s George Hill and Derrick Favors and Indiana’s Paul George.

Neither Jackson nor GM Steve Mills has spoken to the media that regularly covers the team since Sept. 22.

Lance Thomas missed his eighth straight game with his foot issues but could return to his first practice Tuesday.

Justin Holiday said he has a sprained AC join in his right shoulder suffered in Friday’s game versus Charlotte and he felt it Saturday. “Every time you make contact, it’s going to hurt, but it still moves,’’ Holiday said.
