I just can't decide who I want to draft. Both players are so good, but I think with the way Deron William and Chris Paul have rejuvenated their teams, I'm leaning towards the impact PG in Rose. And we know what happenes when you have a great guard... even if he becomes a SF later on in life. |

When you've got spot shooters like Deng, Gordon, Hughes, and Nocioni on the court with Rose, you know he'll have those assist numbers up there.

He has the speed, quickness, and the dribbling skills to take it to the hoop like Parker but he also has great scoring ability when he gets inside like DWade. He isn't quite the passer or shooter Paul is, and Deron Williams is the best PG in the league to me. |

I would say Dwyane Wade even though Wade doesn't hit the three ball. neither does rose...he has only a decent jumper and is a bad FT shooter...rose is so good because he is freakishly athletic...he wont be the scorer that williams or paul will i dont think, but will have the ability to get the basket like parker and dish the ball...i think hell be a stronger, little bit slower, more athletic parker both guys are gonna be great great players...i think beasley has just a ridiculously high upside...i think hes gonna be a 25 and 10 guy within a year...hes a longer version of elton brand with an outside game IMO |

Give me Beasley. You're smoking crack. Beasley reminds you too much of your favorite player Melo and that's the only reason you want him. He has a lot in common with Melo. He's young, a freakish scorer, not a leader, and he's a head case just like your boy in the mountains. |

As much as you looooooved Durant, I can't believe you don't want Beasley. He's Durant but bigger... |

Beasley rebounds better and has a better outside shot. As much as you looooooved Durant, I can't believe you don't want Beasley. He's Durant but bigger... He's Durant in a weaker conference. Don't let the numbers fool you. Plus, if he had a defined position which he doesn't and if he wasn't a head case like Durant isn't then I would have been in love with him like I was Durant. But we don't need a tweener SF/PF we already have one of those. He's going to be a good player but he could easily screw his career up by making the wrong decision and we both know that Paxson has a no tolerance policy for that. No matter how good he is he'd be on the first bus out of Chicago after a few slip ups. Anyway, if he was a SG I'd take him for sure. But he's not. And we're not even sure he'll be a stud SF b/c he might not be quick enough to get by SF's in the NBA. I think he can but that would mean we would need to trade Deng. I'd rather draft Rose, keep Deng who is a quality player that plays defense and will continue to improve, and trade the other pieces to fill the holes. Taking Beasley would give us a star player but will it make us a champion? Did Melo make his team a champ? No! But an unselfish PG like Paul can make your team a champion. I think Rose will be better offensively than Kidd and could be as good or better than Paul. Rose is super quick, has the height and strength to be a stud, and he's more athletic than any PG in the NBA. Whoever, said that Deron Williams is the best PG in the league is smoking something. He's very good but he's no Paul. |
