Derrick Rose: Why He Makes the Bulls Go

This 6'3, 190 pound point guard of a man, Derrick Rose, is the reason why he was selected as an All-Star NBA reserve representing the Eastern Conference in Dallas. Playing for his hometown Chicago Bulls, Rose never doubted his time would come when he would participate in a game full of basketball's elite performers. His quickness and speed as well as versatility for a point guard are valuable assets for a Chicago team that lacks in floor leadership and court vision. He can score in bunches, he is at times a sharpshooter, he can run, he can play heads-up defense, and he can block shots a la Dwayne Wade. Both Wade and Rose are tweeners. Their combination of unusual size and strength and athleticism makes them appear deceiving to opponents who think that they are pushovers. If anything, Rose is the elite player Chicago must keep for the next ten to fifteen years to come. Free agents such as Dwayne Wade and Joe Johnson will be attracted to join a Bulls team that has Derrick Rose at the helm of the offense.
