I'd agree with this one. He may be better than Jamison when it's all said and done, but that's who his skill set, including weaknesses, reminds me of the most...

I'd probably say Jamison is the better long-range shooter right now, whereas Beasley is a tad better at going inside and push people around. They both have many similarities and both have good mid-range games.

A solid comparison for Beasley would be Antawn Jamison meeting Zach Randolph. Though, Beasley doesn't share the same amount of Zach's weaknesses.

I'd say some sort of combination of Melo and Jamison.

ESPN said it best.

Derrick Coleman's potential with Gilbert Arenas' personality.

I don't mind a Melo/Zach Randolph hybrid.

I don't see the passing ability that'd make a Derrick Randolph or even Carlos Boozer comparison valid (just yet), nor the outside shooting of an Antawn Jamison (and he's a better rebounder than Jamison, too).

Coleman didn't have the aggressive rim-attack that drew fouls the way Beasley does, so that also isn't great (and he was a lot bigger, too, like 2" taller, and that colored the style of his game).

Melo/Randolph for now, but if he continues to draw fouls anywhere near .484 FTA/FGA, he'll be doing extremely well in the NBA.

Beasley is substantially more athletic than Jamison. Otherwise it's a solid comparison.
