Beasley...Please

and then you know it’s safe to stop reading the rest of this.

Beasley is going to be a helluva scorer in the league, no doubt. He may even be a more athletic Carmelo Anthony or a more dominant Antawn Jamison. He may put up 20 and 10. But Rose has the chance to be a once in a lifetime player, at a position that is becoming more important post hand check era. Last year, although there was some debate, Oden was the once in a lifetime player at a position that is hard to fill. Durant will be a big time scorer, but Oden is an anomaly. Rose is that anomaly this year. We’re lucky to be in this position and if we make the right choice (Rose) these Bulls can be champions.

P.S. I can’t wait to see T-Time and Noah sprinting the wings in a three on two fast break with Rose at the Point. We’re gonna see some Pete Maravich dimes and monster throw downs! Gordon brings up the rear and spots up at the three point line, and ROse has options…damn. Can’t Wait…

I suggest you do what I’m doing, and that’s look for all the positives about Rose. Believe me, there are many.

We had a bunch of Rose youtubes on here a few weeks ago, and honestly, I’d never seen anything like the guy. His crossover alone is so good it’ll make you laugh. He leaves guys actually standing still…sometimes even looking the wrong way…as he blows by them.

I look at point guard in the NBA kind of like running back in the NFL. Extremely important position in establishing pace and game control. And similar to point guards, you routinely see players taken early in the draft that have all of the great measurable statistics, backing up why they should be the next Walter Payton or Gale Sayers. But in both leagues and for those two positions especially, those measurables mean less and less. As long as there are Rajon Rondos and Clinton Portis’s, players that are taken late in the draft without much fanfare yet end up being fantastic players, I will not be convinced that any player is worthy of the hype.
What i’m trying to say is Derrick Rose could be Adrian Peterson (Vikings) or he could be Cedric Benson, there’s really no way to know for sure. Not that Beasley is a sure thing, far from it actually, but with Point Guard, like running back, so much of the job has to do with instincts and intangibles. Sure Derrick Rose has a better chance of being great, but who can really tell if he has what it takes to be special? More than anything else it just comes down to: Can you play the position?

It’s risky but if he is great we are better than if rose is great – i don’t see who we get for hinrich

for thursday so all this energy wasted debatin’ to be over. honestly i’d still be happy with a 9th pick as long as hinrich was gone- that’s how much he holds us back. IMO. thabo is the 6’7 beige kirk. hinrich is no captain, he lacks the voice and aggression.
PS: sorry i know this rant belongs on the “I HATE HINRICH” thread.

Deng never averaged 2o
