Derrick Rose's NBA Future: Chicago or Miami?

Derrick Rose is going to be a sensational NBA player.

Rose has everything teams want in a play-making point guard. He can run the floor, guard very well, and just make decisions like the game rests on it. He has lightning quick speed and practically his only downfall is his outside shot which he is improving on.

Flat out, the 19-year-old kid can play.

He averaged over 20 points per game and six assists in the NCAA tournament, the biggest stage in a college player's career. He can handle the pressure he is given, as seen by his freshman performance all year long at the University of Memphis.

Just like last year's NBA draft, the No. 1 pick is being battled by two players who are just in a league of their own above the whole draft class. Michael Beasley arguably just had the best freshman year of any freshman ever, and is definitely mentioned as top collegiate Power Forwards of all-time.

But this article isn't about Beasley, it's about Rose. Rose is going to be drafted either by Chicago or Miami, and he is going to be a great player for either team.

Rose in Chicago

Rose is a Chicago native and would be a good fit with players like Luol Deng and (hopefully) Ben Gordon. He would find a lot of their perimeter players open shots and be able to run with transition players like Tyrus Thomas and Thabo Sefolosha. It is all up to Chicago as to whether or not they want a Playmaking PG or a Scoring PF.

Rose in Miami

Picturing Dwyane Wade and Derrick Rose on the court is surreal and would probably be one of the top NBA guard combos, comparable to the likes of Billups and Hamilton. Miami had a rough year last season, and maybe a transition game with the possible future Dynamic Duo would solve offensive problems. Players like Daequan Cook and Shawn Marion would also benefit greatly with the looks they will be getting from Rose.

Bottom Line

Derrick Rose is most likely going to be an All-Star point guard in just a few years if he continues to raise his game to the next level. Watch out, Chris Paul and Deron Williams, you might have to make room for a third.
