Seems to have a legit inside/outside game. If Walker is still around and healthy next year, he and Beasley are going to be a ridiculous college duo.

Walker will DEFINITELY be around next season. And now that he's injured he can really get a good start on his academics. I can't be the only person thinking Walker would have a tough time with staying eligible.

Saw a Hoops TV feature about him and hear about him a lot from people I know in Fitchburg that've see him play. He seems like a good kid. He's a little self-assured, but he's very talented. He was playing with Gilbert Arenas, Caron Butler, and some other Wizards players and he looked very good in the post.

Will be interesting to see where he fits in at the NBA level. He's not quick or skilled enough to play the SF and he is small for a typical PF. It wouldn't be the first time an uber talented high school combo forward ends up being a tweener.

**cpawfan** · 04-02-2007, 09:39 PM

He was the MVP of the McD's AA game and now nbadraft.net has moved him to the #1 spot in their 2008 mock draft

Michael Beasley is a straight up monster. He will do big numbers next year for Kansas State next year en route to becoming a top 3 pick.

rainman · 04-03-2007, 04:36 PM

Probably a little early to be predicting him to be a top pick but he is a tremendous talent, he isnt 6-9 though, he was a good inch shorter than Kevin Love at the McD's game and Love is 6-9. The word on him that he doesnt take things seriously and takes plays and games off would concern me but we'll see.

Premier · 04-06-2007, 11:07 AM

Is he still going to Kansas State?

**rebelsun** · 04-06-2007, 01:06 PM

On draft.net they mention how KState says that the recruits are staying, but there has to be some way out for him. Either way, if Huggins isn't there, I don't expect Mike to stay. I think he either manages to transfer, to WV or elsewhere, or he could be the 1st elite prep to play pro overseas his first year out of HS. You would imagine that if he elected to play overseas, it would a huge story and would keep the spotlight on him all year long - help him solidify the #1 overall pick next summer.

I think this could be a smart move for him, but he would have to find the right situation. He would have to find either a Euroleague team, or a top flight team in Italy or possibly Spain that will play him. He can't afford to spend a year "paying his dues", he needs to find a team that really needs him and would play him a ton of minutes and help him get better.

**JNice** · 04-06-2007, 08:26 PM

From what I read today if he wants out he'll have to sit a year in college. He could potentially play a year overseas or in the NBDL but my guess is he will still go and be one and done.

Nimreitz · 04-06-2007, 09:18 PM

Can he really play in the NBDL? That might not be the worst idea in the world. It would give himself and the NBDL a lot of publicity in the United States. He'd get more pub excelling in Europe from draftniks like us, but playing in the NBDL could be huge for him being on SportsCenter and for the exposure of the league.

MemphisX · 04-07-2007, 09:10 AM

K State is stupid. He is going to screw them in the end. No doubt he drops out of school as soon as the season is over and hurts their graduation rates. In fact, I would tell them before hand I am going to do it unless they let me out of the LOI.

**cpawfan** · 04-07-2007, 12:49 PM

The reason Beasley signed with K-State is Dalonte Hill. Hill was promoted to Associate Head Coach as Frank Martin was named Head Coach. There is no reason for Beasley to try to get out of his LOI now.

First of all he wasnt staying beyond his freshman year so i dont know he's screwing them and KSU is probably the last place that worries about graduation rate. The thing i dont get is what's the big attraction with Bob Huggins, i'd say good riddance.
