Miami Heat Rookie Michael Beasley

With the second pick of the 2008 NBA draft the Miami Heat selected Kansas State foward Michael Beasley. There was uncertainty on who would go number 1 to Chicago but in the end they went with Derrick Rose from Memphis leaving the Heat with a no brainer to select Beasley. He had one of the best freshman seasons in college basketball history, topping Kevin Durant's from Texas. In Summer League play Beasley was a star, scoring and rebounding exeptionally well. Many doubt his character and his size as a power foward, but he will emerge as a superstar in this league. He has great wing span, so the height isn't an issue. Beasley will play the three and four positions this year for Miami. Expect to see him have an immediate impact and give Greg Oden a run for his money in his first NBA season. He was the best player from this years draft and will definetely prove himself as a future allstar.
