Derrick Rose is the big point guard that elevates the quality of NBA teams. He is a good shooter, has great quickness, instinctive moves and quickness with the ball, is a very good passer with good court vision and seemingly has the intangibles that separate a good player from a great one. I don't understand how people think Beasley will dominate at the NBA level. I don't see it. Unlike college ball, he won't be bigger, faster and stronger than the guys that are guarding him. His post moves are ok, but far from superior. He got so many of his points right around the hoop and I don't see that happening in the NBA. He is going to need to hit the 10 foot J to complement his dribble drives and post moves. His unorthodox shot makes that something of a guess. Beasley might be a decent NBA player, but I don't believe he will post the numbers that Elton Brand had in his first five years. Would you take that as your #1 pick? On the other hand, Rose will be a great one for years. It's Rose for me.....and I'm not sure I'd even make Beasley a top five pick, let alone the top one.
Like I said before, I dont think Ive ever seen a KSU game, and only a handful of Memphis games. I thought Derick Rose wasnt a great shooter. And I thought Beasley is said to have excellent post moves and 20 foot range on his jump shot. Thats just what Ive heard.
