Rose Learning From the Best

Bulls guard Derrick Rose has been getting a crash course in NBA stardom this week, serving as an opposing player in scrimmages against the U.S. Olympic team.  Rose and slew of other NBA youngsters, such as Kevin Durant, have been squaring off against the top players in the NBA all week in Las Vegas.  Rose says he’s comfortable being around the NBA’s greatest and he’s earning a lot from the veterans.  The Memphis product pointed out that he’s not only learning on the court, but the seasoned pros are schooling the young guns on how to be a professional and the responsibility and commitment that comes with it.

This is a great learning experience for the number one overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft.  Just think about the competition Rose is up against on a daily basis.  He’s guarding the likes of Jason Kidd, Chris Paul and Deron Williams and hopefully studying their every move.  Rose has the ability to propel himself to the upper echelon of floor generals in the NBA and time spent with these All-Stars should only help him reach that level.  As far as learning things about behavior off the court, Rose is one of the last guys who needs help in that area, but it’s beneficial for him to hear it from the best nonetheless.
