Derrick Rose and John Wall have 3 things in common right off the bat. Both point guards represent Adidas while lacing up their own signature sneakers. Both point guards were once number 1 overall selections in the NBA Draft. Both point guards played college basketball for John Calipari. Derrick Rose has his Bulls currently 3rd in the Eastern Conference standings at 34-20. Meanwhile John Wall and his Wizards are 4th sitting a game back at 33-21. Both Chicago and Washington are trying to hold off Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Meanwhile everyone is chasing the top seeded Atlanta Hawks. Last season John Wall and the Wizards made it out of the 1st round of the playoffs before losing to Indiana in the 2nd round. It was a series the Wizards actually had a chance to win. However for their group it was a learning experience. Meanwhile Rose is coming back from a pair of major knee injuries. D.Rose has a better supporting offensive cast around him. Jimmy Butler is a 1st time NBA All Star and Pau Gasol brings championship experience from the Los Angeles Lakers. It's even possible both squads could meet at some point in the post season. There is no much basketball left to be played to determine each teams fate.
