Think ill turn to my new advanced stats fetish

(just a note TRB% is the amount of avalible rebounds they grab block% number of potential shots they block, etc etc its useful because it takes pace and minutes out of the equation)
SCORING
Randolph put up 8ppg on .506 ts% thats not many points on terrible efficiency
Beasley put up 14 ppg on .528 ts% acceptable efficeincy for a rookie (he needs to up it though to be a good scorer)
"Tears" Randolph has better than average handles for a PF but he isn't going to take anyone off the dribble consistently, he has a lot of work ahead of him before we can say that he has a go to post game, and his jumper doesnt extend far and is inconsistent as of now. He cant create for himself and even on what others create for him he is pretty inefficient.
Beasley can take people off the dribble, has a sweet jumper than extends to the three point line, and a fantastic touch around the basket. His post game has been useless in the nba so far though it may prove more effective against SF's if he can move to that position. His efficeincy was mediocre this year but is better than the efficiency of a lot of big scorer rookies (beas had .528, rose .516, durant .519, lebron .488).
I expect both of them to improve significantly efficeincy and production wise but it is pretty clear
Beasley is a much better scorer.
ON TO REBOUNDS!!!!!
Randolph had a TRB% of 17.5
Beasley had a TRB% of 13
Randolph wins this hands down and this isnt one of those stats that generally increases throughout ones career. Beasley's may go up (or down) but he isn't catching randolph. Randolph is the superior rebounder hands down no question.%
DEFENSE!@?!@>#@
Randolph has a block percentage of 4.5% (Dwight has 6% for reference)
Beasley has a block percentage of 1.5
Obviously blocks arent everything on D but it does tell you something and that is that Randolph is (at least potentially) gonna a much bigger force in the paint than Beasley.
The oh-so-wonderful eye test favors Randolph as well. Beas is just not smart on the defensive end, he misses rotations and his man d is not all that impressive either. Its pretty obvious from watching him even to a layperson hes not a good defender. Admittedly ive only seen Randolph sparsely but
he didnt do a whole lot that made me think wow this guy is a bad defender like Beas did. The block percentages and physical stats make me inclined to think that Randolph has the potential to be a great defender (hands up if you think his D potential will be lost on the defensive monster that is the warriors!) where I will be content to see King Supercool himself be an ok defender.
Defense to Randolph pretty clearly
PASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSING
Randolph has an assist percentage of 6.8%
Beasley has an assist percentage of 7.7%
Neither of them are amazing but Rehab manages to get his teamates points a little more often than Babyface. These stats clinch it though.
Anthony Randolph TOV% (turnover percentage) of 14
Beasley TOV% of 10
Randolph turns it over almost 1.5 times as much as Beasley aka for you folks you dont like numbers (why are you reading this then and howd you get this far?) a hell of a lot more. Beasley has a slightly better A/TO ratio as well at .7 to Randolphs .6. So Beasley assists an insy weensy bit more BUT there is a huge difference in turnovers. (assist to turnover ratio doesnt change that much through your career either, from a 19 year old rookie to a 35 year old vet itll pretty much be the same)
So contrary to popular belief "Magic" Randolph is bad, bad passer and even though Daddy Beaz isn't very good passer either he is pretty clearly significantly better than Randolph.
Passing:Beasley
So what it comes down to is what youre looking for. Rebounding and defence? Stick Randolph. Scoring and generally better offensive play? Beasley. They are two entirely different players. Randolph is pretty clearly a pf (he's somewhere between 6'10 and 8'10 has a bad jumper and does what he does best around the rim) and although Beasley can play pf he is an sf at heart. One will be a big rebounding defensive (unless nellie gets to him) PF and the other will be a scoring forward (kinda odd how the D one is on GS and the scorer is the one the HEAT).
This is something that should be revaluated after both players develop more and if Beasley ends up at SF it becomes a lot harder to do since the expectations for each ones role becomes radically different. However as of now if i had to take one on a totally fresh team it would be Beasley. He has first option on a championship team potential and will likely develop into a second option on a championship team type guy at the very least if the whole father/coke/immaturity thing doesnt get to him first. Riskier choice but i like going for it all.
