I honestly can't believe Derrick got to the starting lineup of the FIBA USA basketball team. After all of the trials and tribulations that have faced him during these past few years, he has finally made it back alongside the elite members of the NBA. He beat out elite guards such as Damien Lillard, Kyrie Irving, and Stephen Curry for the starting position.
He'll probably play alongside James Harden, maybe Demar Derozan, Anthony Davis, and Demarcus Cousins. The roster is not star studded like the gold medal winning Olympic team was, but the lineup is nothing short of fantastic. It will be interesting to see who lands the small forward position with Kevin Durant and Paul George dropping from the team. It will most likely be Demar Derozan or maybe even Chandler Parsons who is a good defender and an above average play maker.
All in all, I'm just hope our main man Derrick Rose can showcase his talents on a world scale to prove all of the critics and doubters wrong. Some extra practice and strengthening of his overall body could also be of great benefit.
