We have an NBA Draft Board for such things, as this.
Please make good use of it.

On offense he has the ability to play the 3. However, I'm not sure how he will do against bigs with a back to the basket game.
I think that with his length, huge hands and body that looks like after a year or two in the NBA and hitting the weight room like the pro's do it will be Boozer like, he'll do just fine.
I also think that his quicks, range and power will give opposing, more traditional PF's fits trying to keep up and in front of him.

Most of his offense comes from the baseline or high post, which says more of a 3 then a 4. Sure he needs to polish his ballhandling, but I for sure see him as a 3.
The height is interesting. I wonder that everytime I watch him play.

i think hes around 6'7 or 6'8. i heard some people saying hes 6'10 there is no way hes 6'10. im willing to bet he gets listed at 6'7 without shoes at the predraft camp.
Well you should accept it
He was 6'9 with shoes last year
He probably still growing

He is a kid, defense can be learned. Remember Peja plays the 3 at the NBA level. Glenn RObinson played there for years.

You can't learn lateral quickness.
The point is his post skills are his biggest strength. Putting him at the 3 takes him away from the paint and puts him on the perimeter.
He has decent perimeter skills for a 4, not for a 3.
It's the same argument I made a while back while the Hawks were playing Josh Smith at the 3.
Although Beasley is a better perimeter shooter than Josh Smith, still he's at his best on the block on both sides of the ball
