Also, Claud, I have no idea how you could feel so strongly about him being a bust; part of me doesn't want to know. </div> I dont know how well he will play in the nba. He is undersized for the PF spot. and too one dimensional for SF spot. Plus he is not the " big man" everyone dreams of drafting. Im sure i could be wrong, but something tells me he wont be the "superstar" rose will be. Thats why i took rose over him.

WOW lol jesus. I take it back. Ive seen a few of his games and he seemed like he was lost at times and he really didnt make an impact in the game. But then again he had monster games. He reminds me of Melo so much. Thats why i said one dimensional. Because IMO he will be a good offensive player but a below average defender. But maybe you guys know more so i take it back w.e.

Is Beasley really a legit 6'10" as advertised or is he 6'8"? Is he really a power forward or do you think he will end up playing a lot of small forward? I honestly don't follow college basketball enough to know the answer to either one, and they would be big factors in my decision.
Josh Smith is 6'9 and one of the best young PF in the game. David West is 6'9 and a all-star PF. Elton Brand 6'8. You don't have to be a legit 6'10 to be a great PF in this league.
Just like Carmelo who is 6'8" 230 and is a SF. I realize Beasley isn't 6'2" but saying height doesn't matter isn't very smart if you are going to pass up a guy like Rose. I've heard/read that Beasley may end up playing small forward in the league. You wouldn't take that into account?

He gained some muscle mass at K-State to prepare him for playing inside, plus the K-State staff are big believers in strength training. Beasley could drop some weight and be just fine as a SF or he could continue adding muscle mass and be fine at PF. Position wise, it really won't matter on offense because he'll bring the same combination of skills to either position and a coach would be nuts not use his full arsenal of scoring methods.
He has great upperbody strength, and very athletic, has shown the ability to play inside. He was grabbing rebounds over DeAndre jordan when they both match-up. Jordan has a good 2 or 3 inches on him, and is athletic himself.
DeAndre Jordan averaged 6 boards a game this year. He's about as raw as they come. I wouldn't make too big a deal out of the matchup in that game.
