Michael Beasley vs Kevin Love

[Zeitgeister]

I wouldn't think twice about this, Beasley over Love easily. I know that Beasley is struggling somewhat so far this year, but I think the reason why he isn't starting is partially because his coach wants to break him down and let him learn to play defense correctly etc. and I also think he has the talent to play the SF spot, but Marion is starting there right now. I realize that Kevin Love is a very good rebounder, but I don't understand why there would be anyone that would think twice about this. Michael Beasley is a better fit for this team, and a better talent, i'd take him easily.

I'd rather have Love at this point. Beasley said pre-draft he did NOT want to play in Minny. Love does. Beasley attitude problems concern me slightly, with him already being busted with weed in the hotel room this summer.

Is Beasley the better player with a much higher ceiling? Absolutely.

There are a couple red flags to me with Beasley.

Love isn't the player Beasley is. He is nowhere near the raw talent that Beasley is. But he hustles, works hard, has the desire to be great, makes his teammates better, and does all the little things a ballclub needs; IMO an important part to our team for the future.
