Today, ESPN released players 26-30 of their annual #NBArank and Derrick Rose has finally checked in at #28.

Some may think the ranking is too low, while others will contend it’s just right considering he has played in only 49 games since being named the 2010-11 MVP.

However, there is sure to be at least one person who disagrees, and that’s Derrick Rose.

The Others

Ironically, the player ranked one spot ahead of Rose at #27 is the man on the receiving end of perhaps his most vicious dunk– Goran Dragic.

Also ranked ahead of Rose is Joakim Noah’s Florida teammate Al Horford who checked in at #26.

Coming in at #29 and #30 were Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry and Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond.

Is Derrick Rose a Top Ten Player?

The argument will ensue until Derrick Rose proves he will be healthy for the long haul.

One man that believes he will return to stardom in 2014-15 is Sam Smith, who in an article today predicted that Rose would be named to the All-NBA First Team in his first full year back from two knee surgeries.

If he does return to top 10 form, then LeBron might be right in his assessment of the Bulls being better than his new look Cavalier squad.

Do you think Rose will regain his MVP form this season?
