Rose Top Pick?

The Chicago Bulls landed the top pick in the 2008 NBA Draft Lottery. The Bulls slated originally to pick 9th based on record of teams. However, the lottery yielded them a 17 out of 1,001 possibilities.

They now have to decide whether to select Chicago native Derrick Rose , an athletically gifted point guard out of Memphis , or Michael Beasley from Kansas State. Beasley is a player that could fit in and almost automatically get the Bulls 20 points and 10 rebounds a night according to some experts.

The belief is that Rose will be the pick when all is said and done, leaving the Miami Heat with Michael Beasley. The Bulls at this time are not tipping their hat as to what they will do.
