Isaiah Thomas believes that Derrick Rose is a future Hall of Famer

Isaiah Thomas and Derrick Rose faced off in the prime of their respective careers

Derrick Rose caused plenty of debate earlier this week when he affirmed that he deserved to be a future Hall of Famer. Plenty of fans have pointed to Rose's lack of sustained success as a reason why he shouldn't be inducted, although Washington Wizards point guard Isaiah Thomas took to Twitter to voice his support for Rose:

You get MVP you automatically in the Hall of fame in my book https://t.co/Fqire52cBl

Just like Rose, Thomas has seen his career derailed by injuries in recent years. Rose was selected with the No.1 pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, and the point guard went on to win Rookie of the Year during a terrific debut campaign.

Rose also became the youngest ever MVP in 2011 but has failed to rediscover his best form since tearing his ACL back in the 2012 NBA playoffs.
