The chosen one! Will he be a great one?The Chicago Bulls had selected Derrick Rose, a 6-3, 190-pound point guard out of the University of Memphis, as the No.1 pick in the 2008 NBA Draft. This addition to the roster of the Bulls will eventually make them a fast team in the league. “In this league, point guards are really hard to find," Bulls EVP of Basketball Operations John Paxson said after making the pick. "He’s got a strength about him that most guards don’t have in this league at that position. He’s got a great burst and he’s very fast with the ball. I think he’s going to make other players better, and I think he’ll give us some leadership abilities as he goes on that we really need. For us, it was the right pick.”
Rose has a rare combination of speed, elite athleticism and poise at the point guard position and that helped him emerged as a candidate to be the NBA Draft's top pick.
On the other hand, the Miami Heat selected forward Michael Beasley with the second pick in the 2008 NBA Draft. The team will surley have an additional player in the inside who has strength, power and athleticism. This would also make the team strengthen their defensive plays.
USC guard OJ Mayo goes to the Minnesota Timberwolves as the 3rd pick overall. The managers of the Wolves had already considered Mayo as the whole package and the fans will surely love him.
