Derrick Rose is still recovering from the orbital bone fracture he suffered during the Bulls' first practice of the season, and while it was initially believed that he'd be able to play in the regular-season opener on Oct. 27 against the Cavaliers, that now appears to be questionable, at best.

Training camp and the preseason aren't always important, but for a Bulls team that has a new head coach and new system to adjust to, Rose's absence will just make things take a little longer to come together than the team anticipated.
