I don't see any reason why the order should change since last time.

I don't see any reason why the order should change since last time.

Nothing really changed, just more of my thoughts about the team. I believe Al > Beasley at the PF position, and I don't think Beasley has the skills to play NBA SF and be able to keep up with the Lebron's and Melos. I
also don't want Al playing Center for some weird reason; he'll still get his points and rebounds on the centers, but he won't stop them either.


Beasley usually positioned himself in the post in college rather than roaming around the perimeter and mid-range like a SF would. Rose just fits us in my opinion, we have no definite PG prospect(Telfair is still up in the air) and Foye admittedly said playing PG can get "Boring" because he "likes to score".

I'd rather have players playing their natural positions with a question mark at center:

PG - Rose
SG - Foye
SF - Brewer
PF - Jefferson
C - ????

Than people playing out of position and that could hurt us defensively:

PG - Foye
SG - Brewer
SF - Beasley
PF - Gomes
C - Jefferson

I disagree on the defense portion here...Foye would actually be more of a defensive liability at SG, than PG. Brewer has more than enough ability to guard bigger SG's and probably most combo guards, where as he will easily get out muscled at the 3. Gomes will always be a defensive liability at the 4 due to size and the 3 because he lacks some athletic ability when compared to many SF's. There have been entire threads about Al's D so I wont debate it here. IMO beasly is better suited to be a 3 in the nba. The first and second lineup are about equal in drawbacks.

I'll have to disagree here. Beasley has an incredible face-up game. He spent a huge amount of time on the perimeter taking guys off the dribble in isolations and coming off screens like a SF would. The fact that he can post up and do damage there does not make him a post player like Al, rather it just exemplifies his insanely diverse and efficient offensive game.

Add that to the fact that he is an incredible rebounder and put-back artist and you have the prospect whose game best compliments Jefferson, not competes with him.

Defensively, there are questions, but I think you'll do just fine playing match-ups.

[theGreatRC]

IMO, from watching him, he would post up on the low block more than he would face up and take the three. He made 36/95 3pters, and 307/577 FGs.I think His Perimeter skills would remind me of a rookie Lebron James; He will attempt a 3 occasionally, but it isn't really his strength or a move he should go to, Beasley is too big and a good enough ball handler to settle for a perimeter shot.

I also see him as a Carmelo defender, dedicated offensively, but ghostly on the other end(Non-existent). Beasley isn't my #1 choice unless pre draft workout results amaze me.
