Who Will Have a Better Career: Derrick Rose or Brandon Roy?

My boys and I were talking tonight and the question came up: who will have a better career between the two youngsters?

The Great Poohdini was amazing in the playoffs this year and Brandon Roy was simply a top 10 baller throughout the season.

D-Rose is four years younger than Roy and not only won the rookie of the year award but could have easily been an All-Star during the second half of the season.

I know they don't play the same position so it's hard to compare but they are two of the youngest and most talented kids in the game.

Rose is a straight-up baller and Brandon Roy's jumper is second to very few (Kobe & Monta Ellis maybe).

Let me know what you think. I haven't heard this question before and I think it's a fun one to discuss.

As for me, I would say they will both be all-stars for the next 10 years. If it comes down to championships, I got D-Rose, just because he is younger which helps his case.

That being said, I love B-Roy's game. A smart, young player with a lights-out jay is hard to pass on.
