"The Great Poohdini," the name tatooed on yet another blue chip player entering NC2A ball this season.....
With magical tricks, Derrick Rose is rated the number one point guard for the incoming freshmen class. Recruited for the Memphis Tigers, Rose leads a team bound for success. With five returning Elite Eight players minus Jeremy Hunt, the Tigers have positioned themselves to have a long successful season.
The addition of Rose might add a little magic to a team previosly defeased by the NBA draft. Rose is not afraid to penetrate and when he does, his strength and quickness allows him to finish at the hoop. He goes up, takes a hit, and finishes. That is how Derrick Rose plays the game of basketball. He's got the game, the pick-and-roll, the tricks, but the question at hand will be how well he can handle the point guard position, will he be disiplined enough to control his team? He has the amazing ability of quickness off of the dribble. How well he uses this skill will make or break him as a point guard as he assumes more of the number three guard position. Potential position problems for Rose, but without a doubt he will be a key player in the sucess of the Tigers.
