I respectfully disagree -- Kansas' perimeter defense was some of the best college basketball has seen over the last decade or so, so it's easy to look past its post defense. But KU's interior was also very talented. KU finished #1 in the Big XII in blocked shots, #1 in rebounding defense, #1 in FG defense, and #2 in rebounding margin (remember, the Big XII fielded 6 teams that made it to the NCAA Tournament, so these stats are extremely significant). Arthur and Kaun were both top 10 in the league in blocked shots, and KU's top three big men were selected in this year's NBA Draft. 6'11" KU freshman Cole Aldrich absolutely dominated faux-POY Tyler Hansbrough in the Final Four. Just humiliated him.
Beasley is going to score points and grab rebounds -- a lot of them -- from day one. He needs no time to adapt.

When I see my image on the security camera at the country club, I wonder, are they stealing my soul? I get so upset, I hop out of my Range Rover and run across the fairway to the clubhouse, where I get Carlos to make me one of those martinis he's so famous for, to soothe my primitive caveman brain. But whatever world you're from, I do know one thing: in the 20 years from March 22, 1972, when he first ordered that extra nicotine be put into his product, until February 25, 1992, when he issued an interoffice memorandum stopping the addition of that nicotine, my client was legally insane.
