Top ten things to know about Derrick Rose

10. Rose is the consensus top-rated player in the draft

Rose-Beasley isn't as exciting as Oden-Durant, apparently.

9. He led Simeon to back-to-back state titles


Rose will probably lose more in his first month as a Bull than he did in this last two years of high school and one year of college combined.

8.
He’ll "do anything" to win


Worth noting.

7. He's petrified of needles


...but he has tattoos, right? Whatever.

6. Rose made the game-winning shot to clinch the state title his junior year


Around the same time, Michael Beasley was roughly on high school number 12.

5.
Missed a potential championship-winning free throw against Kansas


We gotta put the bad with the good.

4.
He and Marcus Jordan date twin sisters


Those girls know what they're doing.

3.
He loves candy


Trust me, this is the only thing Rose and Jerry Krause have in common.

2. Rose has been compared to Dwyane Wade, Gary Payton, Baron Davis, and Jason Kidd


While Beasley has been compared to Derrick Coleman. So Pax, who do you want?

1. He plays awesome in the biggest games of his entire life.

From his game in high school against Oak Hill and Arizona-bound Europe-bound star Brandon Jennings to his stellar performance in the NCAA tournament, Rose knows when to step up.

#3 made me laugh out loud. One time my brother spent the day at a Cubs game in one of the suites. He came home that night and threw up everywhere because he ate too much candy at the game. He was seven at the time. So I kind of know what he's going through.
