Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose has been named the NBA's Rookie of the Year, according to published reports.

Two people familiar with the award confirmed to The Associated Press that Rose was the winner. Both requested anonymity as the announcement was to be made later Wednesday.

The Chicago Tribune first reported Rose had earned the honor.

The team is holding a news conference at 3 p.m. ET, at which it's expected the point guard, a Chicago native, will officially receive the award.

Rose, the No. 1 pick in the 2008 NBA draft, averaged 16.8 points per game, second to the Memphis Grizzlies' O.J. Mayo among rookies. Rose led all rookies in assists with 6.3 per game and was second in minutes played with 37 per game.

There shouldn't be. He didn't play enough minutes in the season to be one of the most valuable rookies.
