He played on a damn good roster, he led his team to the championship, he plays like Deron Williams, and he dominated every other PG prospect in the tournament.

There's almost zero chance he'll bust.

Dominant athleticism mixed with a high-level understanding of the game, and he'll have just turned 20 when the season starts.

I think, once he comes into his own, the worst thing you'll be able to say about the guy is that he's not a Top 5 point guard. And that's a worst-case scenario.

Re: What is so special about derrick rose?

His athletic ability, but then again I have been pretty lukewarm on him for most of the year. He has a lot of fans on here though

i disagree that worst case scenario is him being just outside the top 5 pgs.

i think he's gotten overrated and will be a mild disappointment as a top two pick(as will beasley) because i don't see him really having superstar ability but he's definitely going to be a good player.
