Clubhouse Cancer Exclusive: Bulls to take Rose #1.
An e-mailer into Clubhouse Cancer confirms that the Chicago Bulls will select Memphis point guard Derrick Rose with the number one overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft.
Our source, a Bulls staffer, claims GM John Paxson is blown away by Rose’s potential and is satisfied the 19 year old won’t be affected by potential ‘negative influences’ in coming back to play in his hometown of Chicago where he led Simeon HS to two state titles.
These days, Rose can be seen with a huge entourage ‘working out’ at Hoops The Gym in Chicago.
It’s gonna be pretty tough for #1 (as his buddies are now calling him) to turn down greedy ‘friends’ and family after just one short year away from home, but Pax knows he can’t miss out on the ‘next’ Chris Paul, Deron Williams or Dwyane Wade.
