Jazz point Deron Williams, who sprained his left ankle when landing on the foot of Bulls rookie Derrick Rose in the preseason, had nothing but praise for the 2008 NBA Draft’s No. 1 selection after he scored 24 points on 10-of-17 shooting in Chicago’s 106-98 win Saturday night.
“He’s been doing it all season,” Williams said when asked about Rose taking over the game. “He’s a great player. You know, he’s not playing like a rookie. I don’t think he’s a rookie any more. He’s one of the best point guards in this league, and he definitely took over. Did in Salt Lake, did it today.”
Rose, who helped lift Chicago to a one-point win in Utah late last month, has equal admiration for Williams.

Derrick Rose is my hero.
