The 22-year-old guard made a splash in his NBL debut for South-East Melbourne Phoenix in October, nailing six points in four minutes of action against the Perth Wildcats.
With a busy schedule during December, Rosendale was called on by coach Mike Kelly to play some minutes.
Rosendale logged two minutes on December 14 against Melbourne United before taking his chance two days later.
He played three minutes, slotted a three-pointer and nabbed his first NBL rebound during South-East Melbourne’s 100-72 loss to Illawarra in Traralgon.
Rosendale saw one minute of action against Cairns on December 22, a game the Phoenix lost 94-73.
He did not feature in the 85-77 away win over the Tasmania JackJumpers on Christmas Day or the 95-83 loss to the Brisbane Bullets on December 30.
Looking across the season, Rosendale has featured in six matches, averaging 2.1 minutes and two points per game.
The Phoenix are in fifth place on the NBL ladder with a 9-10 win-loss record ahead of a trip to Wollongong on Friday where they will play the rejuvenated Illawarra Hawks.
