Pax cautions against Rosy assumptions
Published 5/21/2008 by BY JOHN JACKSON Staff Reporter at Chicago Sun-Times Bulls
Immediately after the Bulls defied the odds and came away with the No. 1 pick during the NBAs draft lottery Tuesday night, it was assumed by media, fans and even a few league insiders the choice would be Memphis point guard (and Chicagoan) Derrick Rose.

As everybody knows the Bulls struck lottery gold last night, beating 1.7% odds of landing the top pick in the June Draft.
