Who else thought this guy looked great tonight? His mid range game was Melo-esque out there. I mean its not crazy to think he could reach that level. The dude was the number 2 pick and dominated in his lone year in college. He was compared to Melo alot coming out too. SuperCool seems to be finding his groove now and I gotta say I was impressed. Gallo and even Chandler were no match for him on D. He was creating at will. The Wolves getting him for scraps could be one of the best pickups in recent memory if he pans out.

SMH.

are you kidding me. gtfo

Not quite but I remember I got into with posters and told them Miami was doing him wrong and selling him out knowing he was more talented and not as big a problem they made him out to be. Well they better enjoy Micheal Jackson's 2nd round pick value because they got took on this trade.

Beasley needed 29 shots to get 34 points (see the argument why Chandler's early numbers...aka 20 shots for 20 points...were no good)

This is why I'm starting to ignore reading this board anymore.

I said he needed a situation like Carmelo had in Denver for his game to blossom. Being Wade's second string was holding his game back. Yes, tonight he looked unstoppable offensively. He's a million times better than Gallinari.

Chandler could never do the things Beasley was doing tonight. He put the team on his back in the clutch and was that go to guy we lacked. He was beasting us with all star moves. IDC about his PPS because he scored when it mattered. His mid range game was flawless.

Look Im not saying he will reach Melo status so calm down people. Im just saying if anybody can its him. He was compared to Melo alot and what I saw tonight looked very much like a young Melo. Remember hes only 21 years old and dominated college just as much as Melo. This isnt some out of left field comparison. Plus he just dropped 42 a few nights ago. Hes doin work.

Melo put up 32 on 14-25 shooting in a WIN against the Lakers. Thats well over 50%. Thats efficient. Just because he didnt get to the line or hit many threes that game didnt mean he was inefficient. Its the WAY you score that makes an impact.

Anyone is better than anyone we have right now.

Beasley is a sissy. Come on!

I'm not saying Chandler is Beasley (I'd take Beasley over Chandler easily). Just overreacting to the overreacting that's going on here. Yes, things are not good and we're all freaking frustrated but before we sound the end of the world bell, let's man up just a little bit here.

wow you guys are ignorant seriously. Yes, Beasley is the next melo. Im a basketball fan, not a straight up homer that cannot see talent because im a knicks fan.

He's not in miami, he's not a young kid. He's coming into his own. Those shots he mad were tough no matter who was guarding him. If he puts up 35 that easily he will be the next big thing.

I think Beasley is on a hunt to prove everyone wrong. I think he is turning into a solid player, but Melo type? No.

Did anyone else see the sad attempt downtown during the 4th by him? He's more of a slasher to me. If I had to choose someone to compare, he's more like K-Mart. If he wants to be like Melo, he needs to improve at other parts of his game.

35 points on 29 shots is not good. Charles Barkley has a good old saying(possibly the only one of his beliefs that isn't stupid) that basically states that anybody can score a lot if they shoot the ball enough times. when he can put up 35 on 20 shots while being efficient and getting to the basket then he can b talked about with elite players, not against our team who you're all constantly slating for not playing defense. You can't go around anointing every player who lights the Knicks up as the "Next Big Thing". It's not the case, we just suck.

Lol the wolves had no shooters, he basically was the best thing they had. he would obviously have to take alot of shots. c'mon son.

You do realize he has 42 the other night right? Before that and his injury he dropped about 17 or 20 per game.
Ignorance is bliss in knick land. stop running around the fact his upside in minny is tremendous. Not just because he played against us.

Beasley is a stupid chucker with a lot of skill. He will put up great box scores on a terrible Twolves team. He will put up great numbers this year, because he will get the ball on every play.

Also the Knicks are terrible and that made him look better than he is, see Kevin Love and his 30/30.

beasley is not the next melo not even close. the knicks just make players look alot better. i guess they are right when they say with dantoni your stats improve. for christ sake love had a game thats hasnt happend since 1982 30-30 that is crazy.

Yeah, i guess the lakers made him look better than he is too when he scored 23 points/26 rebounds.

Although I'd take Love over Beasley any day.
