Beasley was one of the top offensive threats seen in college basketball. He can put the ball on the floor, post up, and shoot the outside jumper. He will likely come off the bench for todays game, and will be guarded by the first forward off the bench, possibly the ever popular Yi Jianlian. </td><td>Sean Williams. Williams showed great promise in his rookie season, before hitting the rookie wall. Williams played smothering defense on Michael Beasley in the summer league game these two teams played last year, and everyone has had positive views on him in training camp.

I'm READY!!! Interesting starting lineup. I predicted Anderson at the 4 but thought Boone would get the nod at center. Glad to see that, at least for this first game, Sean is getting the start to acknowledge his offseason work and improvement, even though I think he's way undersized to be a starting 5 in this league.
Anyone doing play by play for those at work? Please! Even though I might know the answer to this, Is this game on the radio?
great! first game thread of the season, great job with the tables! can't wait, a few more minutes... I'm on lunch from work and will have to leave at 2:30, but I'll be taping the rest. can't wait to see who the starting lineup really is. Oh man, I'm so excited.
