I agree with him. He does ask the most important question (apart from what will happen with Ben Gordon) when you consider the future of the Bulls this season and beyond. How will Derrick Rose cope, adapt and make progress. What will be his impact (this year and beyond).

Lost among all the hoopla of contract negaciations this summer, it seems that almost everybody (including the Bulls) has forgotten that the Bulls have the No1 pick in the last draft, and should be (still) excited about it.

Chicago Bulls

The multifaceted disappointment that was last season means the Bulls face a lot of questions this fall. Rose's learning curve -- how steep, how vast -- trumps them all. Point guards so rarely get drafted No. 1 overall that, when they do, the expectations are enormous. Running the offense, fending off distractions in his hometown of Chicago, directing strategic and emotional traffic on a team with more than a little dysfunction all might fall to Rose as rookie tasks.
