Derrick Rose Will Be a Chicago Bull

Michael Beasley visited the Bulls earlier this week, and we learned quite a few things about him while he was here. First, we learned that he's a pretty funny kid as he cracked jokes with the throng of media members questioning him. Then we learned that he has the magical ability to shrink when the Bulls measured him at 6'7 after he'd been listed at 6'10 while at Kansas State.

Well, it was Derrick Rose's turn to visit with the Bulls on Thursday, and what did we learn about him? Well, after hearing what he had to say, I think it's pretty clear the Bulls will be drafting him in a week.

Derrick, who led Simeon to two state championships, made it clear that the only team for him was the Bulls, no matter the presumptive pressures that could come with playing in Chicago.

"I would love to play here, it's a dream come true to get to bring the Bulls back to where they're supposed to be," Rose said. "I haven't thought about the [negatives]. I've just thought about the positives; like how it feels to be in the Bulls uniform, and my family would get to see me. I'm just taking it step by step."

Another indication that Rose will be coming home to Chicago? He's yet to have a visit with the owners of the second pick in the draft, the Miami Heat, and he has no plans to either.

Reggie Rose, Derrick's older brother and adviser, confirmed that no visit with the Miami Heat, the team with the second overall pick, has been scheduled.

"But we'll go to Miami if we have to," Reggie Rose said.

Seriously, why would anyone want to go to Miami? Warm weather, beaches, and beautiful women everywhere. Who wants that crap?
