Qwigglez, who want Beasley to play the 3? It would be a terrible idea.

I can't tell if you're joking or not, lol.
But he's a three. If you mean to play the 4, in certain situations I could see him playing the 4, but not all the time.

Beasley is a 3... c'mon guys lets actually do some research here.

Beasley is a three? Oh yes, that's why Minnesota starts him at that position. Beasley is too small to play the 4 and to slow to play the 3. There's a reason why Minnesota started Wesley freakin' Johnson ahead of him.

Beasley plays significantly better at the 4... he was just unable to play the 4 in Minny because of Kevin Love.

...Beasley's a strong shooter with range, with the potential to get even better in that department. He's also quick and athletic in a way few power forwards in the league are, and can handle the ball well enough to exploit that without needing to run of screens and make constant backdoor cuts. And he's a master at creating space for himself in isolation situations, whether it be with a first step, a step back, or something more crafty. He is a shouthpaw after all....a lot of people don't realize how much that can be exploited.

And his post game is pretty good too. He's not exactly Tim Duncan, but he's above average with his footwork and repertoire. That's another facet of his game that can become great with work.

If you have a player who can create mismatches for you on offense at a certain position....without being a liability on defense...then the best thing to do is play him at that position.

Second, consider the type of team we're building. Fast and athletic, with a more perimeter oriented scoring attack using players that can not only score, but move the ball. Not only does Beasley fit pretty much perfectly into that mold, but by playing him at the 4, the team will open up every position to fit that mold...

Good Article, gives a lot of legit reasons as to why Beasley is a better PF than SF...

This was before he even played in Minny also. He just couldn't play 4 in Minny, Love had already made himself comfortable there. The reason they got him so cheap was probably because no other team was willing to help Miami get the chance to get the big 3. Except KAHN.

Beasley being slow for a three is myth (i.e. it's bs). He is more agile than some premier 3's like Deng and Anthony. He is only .03 slower than Rudy Gay. He had some injuries this past year, so yes there is a reason why they started Wes ahead.
