1. Beasley will not be an effective 3 in this league.
2. Al Jefferson plays better at the 4 or alongside a pretty good post defender.
3. Hibbert is a pretty good post defender, and would allow Jefferson to play his more natural PF position.


And even after all that, passing on Beasley is impossible. I wouldn't worry about it though, Wolves won't get the top pick.

Perhaps maybe we just don't see his game translating too well in the pros. I know I wouldn't spend a (top 5)pick on him.

I watched him at the PC vs Georgetown game today. He had a few blocks & points but did he ever look just horrible. No lift, no athleticism, no strength & little lateral movement. I just don't see him as much of a pro.

Only pick Hibbert if you need a center with a good offensive game and if Brook Lopez has already been picked.
