Who do the Bulls take with the #1 pick the NBA fixed for them to get?

Rose is the choice, hands down. Beasley is a little small to play power forward in the NBA and a little slow and not enough handles to play small forward. He is a tweener, but skilled enough to probably put up 20 points a game regardless. I'm trying to think of a player like him and all I can think of is a more skilled Marcus Fizer with a professional J. Not a bad pick at all. He will score in the NBA, but I think Derrick Rose has more upside. I've never seen a pure point guard that can throw down double pump reverse windmill jams. His athleticism is sick. His J needs work but it's foundation is solid-he doesn't have any bad habits that will hold him back from becoming a legit 3 point threat. He thinks pass first but can score in bunches when he needs to. And he knows when he needs to and when he doesn't-his basketball IQ is off the charts as well. If he can get his J to the flaming level, he will be very tough to guard because he can break down damn near anybody off the dribble. He'll make Bruce "defensive specialist" Bowen his b**** without a doubt.

Here is some sick shiat from his days at Simeon:




My only worry is that playing in Chicago will present him with unnecessary distraction. He doesn't need everybody from his old neighborhood calling him and showing up at his house asking for money. Not to mention all of the NBA players from Chicago that come back here end up getting jacked (Antoine Walker, Eddy Curry) in their own homes, and probably by people they once considered to be their "homies". But if he gets a place up in Highland Park next to Mike and has the security situation locked, he should be fine. He'll also need to stay away from the clubs so he can avoid a Tank Johnson situation. Man that dude was dumb.
