104 experts rank Rose as a top5 NBA player. If everything goes as expected by every basketball fan in the world except some bulls fans he will be in the #3 or #4

Rose has a lot to prove once he returns from his injury. We all know it takes a year to recover from that type of injury..if he rushes back he's not going to be himself. He'll have to adapt part of his game until next season starts. Either way, he certainly has that drive and determination to do it.

Rose is not a top 5 player. Top 10- yes. Top 5- no.

LeBron, Dwight Howard, Durant, Kobe, Wade, Paul

Wade is not a top 5 player. This isn't 2008.

Howard has potential to be the best, but injuries and (lack of) priorities keep him from it. He certainly wasn't a top 5 player last season.

I'm not saying Rose is a top 3 player or anything, but some of these guys that we put on a pedestal just b/c of their name (instead of production) is dumb.

Really? Wade isn't Paul Pierce. The guy still is an offensive force. And a defensive force. Name 5 players better.

Howard has potential to be the best, but injuries and (lack of) priorities keep him from it. He certainly wasn't a top 5 player last season.

He was a better player than Rose last season despite that.

Like Wade for instance? Wade is a more productive player than Rose overall. The only thing I give Rose the edge in is his facilitating ability.
