Rose Breaks His Silence: Memphis freshman point guard Derrick Rose has announced his decision to enter the NBA. He released a statement to the media Tuesday to avoid a news conference because he is shy. Rose is projected to go first or second in the draft after leading the Tigers to a national championship game and a 38-2 record this past season. He averaged 20.8 points, 6.0 assists, and 6.5 rebounds in the NCAA tournament.
