I honestly can't decide. Either we go Beasley and fill our inside presence or Rose and finally get a true point guard...yes Hinrich has regressed instead of progressed.
If I were John Pasxon and the Chicago Bulls I would pick Derrick Rose. Pure point guards in the league are hard to come by....Beasley is a great player, but the Bulls haven't really let Thomas and Noah blossom yet. Kirk/Gordon/Duhon have all been given a chance to excel and they choked, it's time to see what the hometown kid can do. Rose may give Thomas and Noah more scoring opportunities.
Being that it's the Bulls, I think they should take Rose just because they haven't had a good PG for awhile, and it's obvious what a great PG can do for a team. CP3, Deron Williams, and even Rajon Rondo are making big impacts on their teams. I think Beasley will be the better player though. After wathcing a lot of his games in college, I can say that he completely amazed me, because I never thouhgt the NCAA would see such a great FR player after Durant. At least not 1 year later. He would be my number 1 pick.
I would take Derrick Rose. Even if the fact that he is from Chicago wasn't in play, I would take him by a nose over Beasley. I think Rose has special talent and the potential to be right up there with Chris Paul and Deron Williams in 2-3 years. Yeah the Bulls have Hinrich but I still think you can't pass on Rose. I'm a big believer in strong point guard play and that it's a lot easier to win a championship with it than it is without it. Both players have the type of talent you see in hall-of-fame players, so it's a nice problem to have. Throw in the fact that the fans are clamoring for their hometown boy and I think Rose will be the guy.
Look how much bigger PGs have come in the league Deron Willams and Chris Paul were huge this year. The Mavs made a trade for Chris Paul so they could upgrade the PG positon. The 1 is the biggest position in basketball.
As others have said, the PG position is the most important one so i hope they draft Rose. I think he's the best player in the draft and that's what should be remembered when making a selection, not what your team needs; because you can always worry about that later. For all we know Beasely might not work with the Bulls. And seeing how the Bulls played this last season, i actually think the low-post pressence was the least of the problems. They still have Thomas, Noah, Gooden, and Gray, and each one did fairly well last season, especially when given time after they finally got rid of Wallace.
So unless they trade the pick to make something big happen, i hope they draft Rose and then let Duhon go and possibly use Hinrich in a trade.
