Rookie Derrick Rose is nervous heading into his first training camp with the Chicago Bulls.

"I'm worried a little bit," Rose said. "But I know with the guys on my team that everybody will help me. They just want to win."

"I don't know what's going to happen. But all I hear is it's going to be hard. At Memphis, our training camp was hard. If it's harder than that, that would be unbelievable."

Rose, the first overall pick in June's NBA Draft, also said that his right knee tendinitis is coming along well.

"It's fine, coming along nicely," Rose added. "I've been working on it and putting stimulation on it every night. I'm not worried about it at all for the season."
