There was a lot of loose lipped gum flappin' on these boards yesterday, and it's looking pretty foolish right about now.

Beasley today: "I have to work on all aspects of my game."

I watched the game.

Beasley needs to take the Beast drill more seriously. His moves are all good, but he has a finishing problem right now. Like on that Tyrus block yesterday, Beasley said he was thinking about not jumping on the shot, and decided to jump at the last minute. That crap isn't going to cut it in the NBA. The guy needs to learn how to dunk over people.

The way I see of Michael Beasley is this. A combination of Derrick Coleman/Anthony Mason/Zach Randolph. I'd still take Rose. The Bulls need a leader, a guard who actually attacks the basket frequently(the other will be Larry Hughes when he gets acclimated with this team during training camp), and a player that Chicago Bulls fans can be proud to watch each night he laces up his sneakers.

Not only that but now Duhon is gone, hopefully Paxson trades Hinrich for Camby, and sign-and-trade Gordon. The Bulls definetly need a PG and we got our PG for the next 10-15 years. Rose is basically our LeBron James in terms of team value.

Like I said yesterday to Vegas post...YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, BLAH,BLAH,BLAH.

Come on guys...it's summer league...niether day makes a damn bit of difference. Let's talk about it at the all-star break.

Is this thread for real? It seems like a clever attempt to parody a typical reactionary fan after one summer league game.

Sadly I think so. Anyone that knows anything about basketball realizes that you need to give a min of 2 years before completely labeling someone a bust.

This thread could possibly exist in like three years, but not today...

Yip, it's for real. But Summer League play isn't my impetus.

You simply don't pass up on the best player in the draft to grab a PG who doesn't do as many things, or as many things as well, as any top 5 PG in the league (none of whom were drafted #1). Rose is very good, but he's not Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Steve Nash, Gilbert Arenas or Jason Kidd. He's Steve Francis. You don't pass up on Beasley to use your #1 pick to draft Steve Francis -- especially when you've fielded one of the worst frontcourts in the league over the last half decade.

FYI, Rose went 2-9 with 9 points and didn't score in the first half yesterday. He's only attempted one three in two games. Summer League doesn't really matter, but I am paying attention to where he's taking his shots. Again, I'm not sure if it's wise to spend a #1 pick on a PG who can't hit threes or, worse, one who simply doesn't take them.

Yet you keep talking about his Summer League play....

True, he's not shooting jumpers all day. It's not the playground.

It's obvious to anyone watching these games that he's carrying out what the Bulls are asking. Working on distribute-first while he's out there.

Learning to be a PG in the league is a whole lot harder than SG.... they're using summer league to get the jump on that process.

VincentVega

Watch Rose's play in the Final Four. He's Steve Francis. I was at the Final Four and shared this observation with a few NCAA folks.

You make that sound like a bad thing. Steve Francis is a very good point guard, or he was for his first 5 plus years. The thing is,that he's a bit of an a**hole, and hard to coach. Rose doesn't seem to have that now does he.
