1 Derrick Rose PG 6'3" - 190lbs, Oct 4, 1988 College: Memphis
Derrick Rose won the Rookie of the Year Award last season after averaging 16.8 points and 6.3 assists per game. He proved all year long that he possesses an unstoppable first step and he proved in the first round of the playoffs that he can be an inspiration, winning games by his mere will. He is everything the Bulls wanted with their first round draft pick. This season he has to avoid a sophomore slump and take the next step and just take over games. He has the ability, but needs to fully recover from a minor ankle injury first. He is no longer a rookie and now has the pressure of fame and major expectations on the court. Rose needs to work on his midrange jumper to further confound defenders when he penetrates. Once he has that shot down he may be able to work on his three-point shooting, at which point he will be un-guardable.
