NORTHBROOK, Ill. (AP) -Derrick Rose, who led his hometown Bulls to the playoffs and restored hope to a franchise in disarray, is the NBA’s rookie of the year.
The announcement was made Wednesday.
Rose is the third Bulls player to win the award, joining Michael Jordan and Elton Brand. His selection was hardly a surprise, after the No. 1 overall draft pick led all rookies with 6.3 assists per game and was second in scoring average at 16.8, and established himself as the franchise’s first true cornerstone since Jordan.
