A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME...

Would you draft Malik Rose with the Number 1 overall pick?

How about Fab Five alum Jalen Rose?

Didn't think so.

The truth of the matter is, this Rose is some kinda special. Despite not being a big point guard (like Jason Kidd), Derrick Rose has a reputation for toughness and good "D".

Despite his youth, Derrick Rose has a reputation for leadership and on-court maturity.

Despite his gaudy offensive numbers, Derrick Rose has a reputation for being a complete player, not just an offensive one.

And that may be the difference between being the first overall pick and the second overall pick.
