Derrick Rose was a super freshman who was thought to be a top five pick, and after his ridiculous tournament (avergaing 20 per game), is a super freshman thought to be the first pick.
He’s announced he’s foregoing his final three years at Memphis to enter the NBA, and why not? The kid’s good, he can turn around a team quickly — kind of like Mike Conley did with Memphis (pft) — and, apparently, he’s a pretty good kid with his head screwed on tight.
At any rate, you have to hope the kid is drafted by a team that teaches free throws, which, as seen throughout the season, Calipari clearly doesn’t.
