No kidding! WHO CARES!!!???

I bet by the time we get to the other game, Beasley and Jordan will be on the bench with foul trouble.

Beasley couldn't let Greene outdo him, what a competitor.

Nice throw down by B-easy.

Beasley is unreal around the basket.

Beasley is the truth.

North Carolina and UCLA lose at home. Didn't see those coming.

Oh my god. Beasley is the **** man. A fade away, then a quick jumper on the left wing.

I love his emotion too.

To Rev: WHAT ATTITUDE?

Officially on the " We need Beasley, but wouldn't be mad if we got Rose "
bandwagon.

Yeah, this has been a nice showcase of Beasley. It'd be extremely hard to pass on him, good fit or not.

even with early foul trouble Beasley showed he was clearly the best player on the court and superior to DeAndre ( i cant hit a FT ) Joradn.

Beasley is nothing like Al Jefferson, and could totally compliment him. His outside game is amazing, his movement without the ball is great, mid range game has it...and can attack the basket as well.

Beasley is the best freshman and the best player in the country.

Wolves would be very fortunate to land this talent.

Hey our boy Will Graves got mentioned on ESPN today. He hit the big 3 at the 4:14 mark in the second half, go WILL!

If you think you can tell if a player has an attitude or does not have an attitude from watching one game on ESPN I am glad you are not in a position to make any movements for this team. His attitude has been testified and talked about by almost every credible pre-draft source. You need to give some weight to that.

Beasley played interesting today. His 15-18ft jumper is very nice and I was hoping he would use it more today so I am glad he did. The announcers claimed he has ballhandling skills but the one time he took more than 2 dribbles he lost the ball. But that is something he can learn. Defensively there was not a good match up to him today so I cannot say anything about that.

Interesting game. I know the fouls made it an off game for Beasley and the ankle made it bad for Jordan, but there was signs from both. Beasley has a ton of talent. Offensively he will fit Al very well, I am just not on the bandwagon by any means.

It was awesome to hear him mentioned, considering how well known he is on this board, it was weird to hear them give it a "who?" after mentioning his name.

I only got home in time to see the majority of the 2nd half of KSU-A&M. Jordan didn't seem to stand out a whole lot, but man, is he fast and athletic for his size.

Beasley's definitely a talent. I can see why some wouldn't like his facial expression/body language, but I think it's gotten overblown, maybe just because we're used to seeing a heart on the sleeve guy like KG that did everything, even bounce back to the bench for timeouts, at 110%. I don't get the questions about his offensive ability at the 3 spot, he'll be able to score regardless of who's guarding him. The questions about his defense are legit, but it doesn't seem to be due to a lack of effort.

All in all, nothing's happened to make me believe that Beasley and Rose aren't the top two talents in the draft.

B-Easy's attitude is more than just his on-court stuff, but that is part of it.

I watched every Beasley game on TV and i've been telling you I have never seen him do anything besides that one time during the Xavier game where he was mad that he got into foul trouble.

I said "What attitude" because I figured it was your 1st or 2nd time being able to see Beasley on TV, I've seen plenty of Beasley to know he is a great talent who is going to be a force in this league, maybe even a household name.

Draft express, or any college draft site doesn't always give you the full analysis of a player, with players like Beasley, you have to see him up close to understand why he is the #1 pick in almost every college mock.

Trust me, i've seen a ton of Beasley games, that statement was because I thought you were a first timer.
