Derek Rose was drafted in the 2008 NBA Draft. That very same year he was voted the Rookie of the Year. Rose has lead the Chicago Bulls to the playoffs every year he has been in the league and even received the 2011 NBA Most Valuable Player of the Year award. Michael Jordan is the only other Bull to ever achieve this award, but Rose is the youngest player to ever do it. During his career he has average 21 PPG, 6.8 APG, and has a FT% of .815.
In the first game of the 2011-2012 Season of the playoffs, against the 76ers. Rose was injured during a play while trying to jump. The injury was a torn ACL in his left knee, which would lead to him sitting out the whole 2012-2013 Season. Rose is now considered 100% and will play the first game of the 2013-2014 season.
