3. Will Bynum, Point Guard

A player that would likely not be anticipated to face D-Rose all that much in his career is the former Pistons, Golden State Warriors, and Washington Wizards, guard Will Bynum. Bynum spent most of his career with the Pistons, which is ironic since he mostly played at the same position that D-Rose plays in the Motor City now.

Both Bynum and D-Rose are also natives of Chicago, IL. Bynum is a product of both the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and Arizona Wildcats hoops programs. And the 6-foot and 185 pound floor general was an undrafted free agent that was picked up by the Boston Celtics during the 2005 offseason. His debut would come with the Warriors.

In 360 career regular season games played in the NBA, Bynum averaged 8.1 points per game, 1.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.1 blocks. He shot 44.2 percent from the field, 27.2 percent from beyond the arc, and 79.9 percent from the free-throw line. But a lot of the production and efficiency Bynum posted was worse off when he would face D-Rose and the Bulls.

Bynum finished up with a record of 0-9 against D-Rose and the Bulls. He averaged 5.7 points per game, 1.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 0.8 steals. He still shot 44.2 percent from the field and 55.6 percent from the free-throw line. All of the nine meetings that D-Rose and Bynum had came in the regular season. Rose averaged 22.2 points per game, 4.0 rebounds, 7.7 assists, and 1.4 steals, against Bynum.
