#1 NBA Pick Rose Cited For Driving Over 100 MPH

Derrick Rose was the #1 pick in the NBA draft last week. It was disclosed yesterday that he was cited for allegedly driving a vehicle owned by his management company, over 100 MPH about 2 months ago. Rose, who has acknowledged the mistake has promised that it will not happen again. We have a 19 year old, future millionaire driving a vehicle that he doesn't own thinking that he can drive as fast as humanly possible. This could be a red flag for Rose's new employer, the Chicago Bulls or just a mistake. Let's hope for Rose's sake that he's learned a lesson. He's very talented, but he's headed back to his hometown to play for the hometown team. A whole lot of pressure for one so young.
