Derrick Rose's son is on his way.

PJ Rose is only in seventh grade, but his basketball highlights are circulating on social media. The inherited genes certainly look promising for the offspring of the Chicago Bulls legend.

The youngster was named MVP of the Crossover Classic Championship on Chicago's South Side, according to Ball Is Life.

PJ Rose was playing for Skinner West and knocked off his dad's alma mater Beasley in the championship game. In the final, PJ dropped 20 points.

He showed off a promising outside shot in the clips below.

As PJ surely already knows, it isn't always easy to be the son of a legend in the same sport you're undertaking.

In recent years, there have been players like Bronny and Bryce James, Alijah Arenas, Kiyan Anthony and the Boozer twins trying to do the same thing.

But it's not all bad to be the kid of an all-time great. The DNA, lessons and coaching that can come from that can be a big boost.

PJ Rose will try to keep carrying on that name.
