Michael Beasley is bound to have a breakout season this year 4 sure. He is gonna all out. He has been working on his game like crazy with some of the members on the T-wolves. To all the Michael Beasley and OnceInADECADE Haters there is still a sit for you all the bandwagon. Look at what Beasley said about the pressure he is going to get.


Honestly, I feel like pressure is only applied when you feel pressure. You know when you feel like you gotta do this and you gotta do that. You know I'm just going to go out and I'm going to play my hardest that's the one and only thing I can guarantee. You know I'm giving 100 percent. I'm going to dive for every loose ball and try to grab every rebound and also going to try to score every point. But I'm just here to play with the team

Yes! Beasley is on Mission to be Great. He has a winning attidue and is a team player! But what I'll really happy about is Beasley willing to wait and not force anything, like on this recent comment.


If the team needs to score, I'm going to score, if the team needs me to rebound I'm going to rebound, play defense I play defense. You know if the team needs me to sit at the end of the bench and yell at the top of my lungs that's what I'm going to do for 48 minutes. You know I'm just here to try and bring back winning to the city of Minnesota.


When asked whether he has a huge cicrle around the Miami Heat on his calendar(Nov 2nd 2010 cough......cough........) He said"I'm going to put a big circle around the whole NBA" WOW!! Like I said Michael Beasley is ready 4 the NBA Season to start. He is going to flat out dominate and try and win as many games for the T-Wolves.

Breakout Season Is In Progress People on the Ish!! Beasley is demanding respect from the League and everybody who doubting him, including Charles Barkley.

I went to a 15-win team to averaging 45 wins in my short career. So I'm proud of that you know. And I feel like I should get a little more recognition for that but you know it's life.

You know I'm just going to come out and show everybody who Michael Beasley really is, I'm going to show them who I am you know the Great 8, the new me

Best Wishes to Michael Beasley and the Minneosta Timberwolves. You wanna Hate then Hate, but be prepared:rockon:

It's not just about speeding the game up though, his attitude needs to change. He has yet to show a high level of desire out there on the floor and when you're an undersized forward that's a problem. Really that's bad for any player but when you are already fighting a mismatch it's even worse.

he might be an all star but he is never going to live up to the expectations he is never going to be a superstar or top 10 player in the NBA. I say his peak is 23 8 4 at pf he just too undersized. But if he can develop into a sf thats a different story i see him being as melo type of player then. It would be hard for him to be fulltime sf but if he can do it then you can say he is worth that number two pick. I see him being next year 17 7 3.

undersize doesnt matter when playing uptempo. But i do see Beasley playing the Small more then the Power this year.

Love that comparison between him and Carmelo. But i would add Amare on that cuz Melo doesnt have their kind of athlectism.:bowdown:

He is really undersized 6'8 and he really lacks length too i know hes athletic but it doesn't make up for the size. But he is perfect for the small forward position.People called elton brand undersized and he was 6'9 1/2 with extremely long arms. Top 20 player as pf top 10 player as sf

what does he need to improve? You tell me.

Shooting check
1 on 1 defending check
Playing team Basketball check
Rebounding check

The problem Beasley has is the Inconsistency and that because of the poor minutes he received from playing with the heat.

Like for example I'm going to use 3 of the top small fowards in the League and how they didnt have this problem after their rookie seasons. The 3 small foward got to play threw their mistakes as rookies while Beasley had to learn from sitting on the bench while making his errors. That is a bad way to develop your young talented players.

many young nba players fail because of their surroundings, coach, lifestyle

i think kahn understands this, while many ppl say beasley sucks, darko sucks, they were drafted high for a reason, so maybe a change of scenery/ different coach is all they really needed, so hopefully darko and beasley are co-most-improved-players for 2011

beasley sounds more mature as well from the quotes, up to this point he always seemed uneasy with the fame, pressures, and responsability of having to play as a job, but he seems more comfortable with it now

I think his plan is going to work a lot of people hate on the Thunder and Hawks before they got good. Teams that build through the draft normally take a bit longer to get good. I think this upcoming year Kahn is going to find his core for the future and then trade players he doesn't need for future draft picks and role players. Minnesota will probably be last place again and the best players in the draft are going to be sfs and pgs. I think flynn will be traded cause kahn really likes rubio and darko. They have webster as sg and if they draft a sf like Harrison barnes they'll trade Beasley or love and wes johnson or corey bewer. This team could be really by 2013 they could have 4 all stars in there starting line up

Im pretty sure Beasley is faster than guys like paul pierce and carmelo anthony. Beasley just doesn't have that total sf skill set yet thats why he kind of looks slow as a sf. He is not slow he just not comfortable playing outside if he plays small forward this year he'll get a lot faster.

Michael Beasley is also a great passer for his real position as a Powerfoward. Don't let his 1.2 apg career fool you. The Miami Heat team is run by Dwade only like crazy. He has the ball in his hands all the time. And with Beasley not being able to show out his skills it limits him to show off his passing ability.

I am looking for a video to support my statement.

My 2 cents on supercoolBeas:

First off, I'm VERY happy when I heard the trade. Both us and Beas benefited from it. We would much rather have Mike Miller + Haslem than Beas, and im sure majority of contenders would agree, but if we were to build a team, it's obviously hands down Beas.

Ever since the 08/09 season ended, I already got a hunch that this Beas-Heat connection will not end well. He just didn't fit in and hasn't exceeded our expectations yet, but don't get me wrong, the potential is there, and the Timberwolves is a PERFECT scene for him to go out there, and prove them haters wrong. I'm in the minority of blaming Spo rather than blaming Beas his self, but overall, the blame can be shared for both.

Beas always seemed nervous everytime on the court, because he knows that if he commits a TINY mistake, he would see Spo direct Haslem and ask him to go to the scorers table already and sub for Beas, so the pressure should ease off a bit now that he's in Minny without Spo/Haslem. He has a legit chance for M.I.P and he's my pick for it. I wish him the best and I would definitely be forced to watch Wolves games too to monitor him. He's gonna be a stud soon. No doubt in my mind.

08-14-2010, 09:46 PM
I'm a big fan of his lifestyle and personality but I can't see him ever being a top 5 PF. So I think ONCEINADECADE has his sight set too high for Beasley. At best I see beasley as an antwan jamison type of player who can score in bunches, with lowish fg% for PF, but can't defend worth a lick. He needs to work on his handles and hopefully play more time in the SF position where he has better size. Cause he's going to get eaten up in the post.

you wouldn't give up beasley so you could get Bosh, bron, AND miller? His contract & tweener status stood in the way.

You know the NBA isn't a video game right?

chemistry is huge part of the game. beaz needed a change of scenery, with bosh and bron his two positions he could play he would get no minutes. He's a terrible bench players (he is type of player that needs to be on the floor to get his game going). He's terrible from 3, which is what we need. Terrible at help defense. Terrible bball IQ. He's a terrible fit for this team.

Only upside he has is potential, but there was none for him on miami. Wade and bosh are what, 28/27? bron 25?.... beaz had no future in miami.


Now if miami had gone another route, and build a solid team around wade instead of the superfriends, then i'd have liked to have beasely.

Only upside he has is potential, but there was none for him on miami. Wade and bosh are what, 28/27? bron 25?.... beaz had no future in miami.


Now if miami had gone another route, and build a solid team around wade instead of the superfriends, then i'd have liked to have beasely.

Of course Miller is a good addition. Still, it would've been nice to keep Beasley around. If he breaks out in the next couple of years Miami will look very foolish.

BTW, Miller plays the 2 and 3 positions. The Heat have Wade and Bosh, yet he'll still find time to contribute. I don't see why Beasley couldn't have done the same thing.

because beasley needs the ball in his hands to do something. He's not a good catch and shoot guy. Also, He's not a good small forward. Look at tape of him playing @ the 3. He stands out on the perimeter and under-utilizes everything that would give him an advantage at the 3. At the 4, he gets abused by big PF's, or even just smart Pf's.. He doesn't use his post game either.

Miller is a mature vet who is OK with coming off the bench and is a deadly shooter. Haslem @ the 4 gives you everything you want backing up bosh -- a dirty, hustler, double double off bench beast who will scrap and collect charges with excellent help defense.

And if Beaz breaks out, so what? You'll have wade, bosh and bron ALL IN THEIR PRIME. theres only 1 basketball.

Also, the kid can't handle the fame & the lures of living in south Florida.

The best thing mike can do is score. He can score at will. Thats about it. to do that he needs the ball in his hand and he needs some MPG. Which will not happen for him in miami.

Trust me i wish it worked out for him here. Shit, he had a beastly 28/13 stretch of 4-5 games his rookie season, dudes got all world talent. when he's determined he is a beast.

Kevin Love is way better than O.J. Mayo.
http://www.hoopskarma.com/hk/2010/8/...s-oj-mayo.html

Ok, so how is Love better than Beasley?

For one thing, he is the best rebounder in the NBA. What is Michael Beasley the best at in the NBA? Don't answer that.

While Michael will bring some excitement on the offensive end and maybe a little on the defensive end also (and I can't wait to see him play for Minnesota), I can't believe that he is better than Kevin Love.

Although Kevin Love is considered by some as a bad defender, he's altogether not too bad and is improving. He has trouble guarding bigger PFs/Cs, just because they're too strong, but I have a feeling that Michael Beasley would have the same problem if you put him on defense against a Kevin Garnett or Al Jefferson (first two I could think of, don't blame me).

And he can score too. Don't think that he doesn't know how to, because he can score with ease near the basket (as most big men can), and he can be a legitimate three-point threat for opposing teams. Unfortunately, the coaching staff didn't let him take threes his first season, but now he is allowed to.

Of course, Kevin Love's a completely better passer than Michael Beasley, and if you don't agree,

He's the best rebounder in the NBA (and still improving [he's only 21 years old, and he's THE BEST REBOUNDER IN THE NBA!!]), a big man who can see everything that's happening around him (high basketball IQ), a very good passer, and a team player.

Michael Beasley is good at offense and scoring.

Kevin Love's a better all-around player.

Yes Kevin Love is a bit better rebounder than Beasley but nothing else. Rite now Michael Beasley is a way better offensive player than Love would ever be REAL TALKS BRO!! Love offense is dog shit compared to Beasley. Love is probably 1 of the worst defenders @ his positions while Beasley(dont laugh @ this) is top ten defender @ the 4 spot.

Kevin Love defensive rating is a 109 :lol
Michael Beasley defensive rating is a 103:applause:
Kevin standing @ 6'10 and always camping down low only gets 0.5 blocks per game:facepalm
Michael Beasley standing @ 6'8 and half 0.6blocks per game while he is all around the court

And people were calling Beasley a horrible defender:facepalm . Back to their offensive games Beasley is better than Love at everything in offense. Better banger down low, better midrange shooter, better handles , better 3 shooter..........wait for him to bring (the stats saying Love had a better 3point%) cuz nobody guarding him from the 3 point arc believe me i watch Minny games.

Just to show you Beasley is better at rim look @ this
Love @ rim 56.2%
Beasley @ rim 65.0%:bowdown: damn!!

A bit is a bit of an understatement. I have no idea what the

"Love @ rim 56.2%
Beasley @ rim 65.0%"

is talking about at all. If you're talking about scoring next to the basket, last season Beasley was 44% and Love was 54%. If not, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Kevin Love's reb% dominates Beasley's at 21.5% to 12.6%. And that's with Al Jefferson on the Timberwolves and no significant rebounder on the Heat.

You're saying that Beasley's better at defense than Love because of his defensive rating, but he's also better at offense than Love? Kevin Love's offensive rating is better than Beasley's.

So what that people don't guard his three point attempts as much? He only takes three-pointers when he's wide open, like you're supposed to do unless you're Ray Allen or Reggie Miller. Don't take bad contested three-point shots when you average 27%, just don't.

(BTW, I watch Timberwolves games too. I'm a Wolves fan and I watch every game.)


EDIT: The strange thing I found when researching was that Love takes more three-pointers per game than Beasley.

2nd EDIT (because I didn't notice that I didn't cover everything): .1 blocks per game doesn't say anything; Kevin Love's a better passer;

It's not, but some people here are just gonna bash people anyway. Noah averaged 11/11/2/50% with good D' in 30 mins last season, but apparently he's shitty to some people. Ginobili gets 16/4/5 in about 28 mins, but apparently he sucks too. :confusedshrug:

On here, sometimes you get posters who call everyone who isn't a superstar, a shitty player. :banghead:

For Beasley though, he should be a little better than he's displayed. He was a 20/10 guy in college. I think he was somethin like 26/12 iicrc (gonna feel dumb if I'm mixing him up with someone else. :oldlol: ). Obviously his stats don't directly translate, but I thought he'd at least be around 16/7 at this point in 30 per. He should be at least a 20/8 guy with full minutes, if he lives up to his talent. Dunno what the deal is. He'll prolly get tons of FGAs since sadly there aren't many other players with the Wolves right now worth giving the ball to.

Same. I've grown tired of explaining it to people a long time ago though. Players who aren't the #1-2 player on a team just rarely get respect from the more casual fans.

Michael Beasley is playing on a team that made the playoffs last season and he was the 2nd most important player for the Heat. He averages 20 points a game when Wade doesnt play(9games) and the team record is 4-5.

I always say that coach Spo always defers to play Haslem in crunch time because he thinks he has better Defence:facepalm he doesnt really. Michael is agrubaly the most underrated defender in the League. Michael ranks in the top 30 in "Clutch Stats" .................dont believe me.

Beasley can definitely play at SF, but not effectively.
Here are the stats per position:


SF: Net Pts: -99 (Net 48: -14.6); Offense: 80.4; Defense: 95.0; W-L: 11-25
PF: Net Pts: +108 (Net 48: 2.6); Offense: 98.1; Defense: 95.5; W-L: 40-36


I feel that Kevin Love's defense is way underrated. He may not be Kevin Garnett, but his defense is still solid.

he should. If Kurt is smart Beasley would be starting over Love or Johnson.

over johnson def not over love. hes a true 3 not a 4. didnt work as well in miami when he did

Beasley is a better scorer than love.

True, but Love is better at every other aspect of the game off the top of my head. Maybe not FT%, but rebounding, passing, hustle, defense, awareness, IQ, Love > Beasley.

I like both players though, I didn't really get to see Love much until the WC this summer, and I've really been impressed. I've always been impressed with Beasley's scoring ability though, given his erratic and limited minutes.

I really would love it if Beasley could shape his game to fit into a SF role, because Beasley and Love together on the floor would be a great balance.

No, Beasley improved a lot in his second season defensively he was no longer a defensive liability that opposing teams would attack on each play. He is now an average defender at the 4 as he is undersized and Love is below average.

I'm sure most of ISH were expecting Beasley to have a break out season as most of ISH knew it would take some time for him to find his game in the NBA after the jump from college.

Your not onto anything new mate.

EDIT: However while I feel his number will go up significantly I feel they will also be empty stats, Minnesota are really going to struggle this year.

Well, Beasley's a much better defender then Love, for whoever was saying that. Also, you shouldn't really be comparing their stats, considering Love's were pretty empty for the most part.

I think that Beasley is going to get a lot of minutes for the Wolves this season, considering he's the only person on their team capable of being a go to scorer. He'll probably start at the 3, but it doesn't matter too much with their offense.

Honestly, I feel like pressure is only applied when you feel pressure. You know when you feel like you gotta do this and you gotta do that. You know I'm just going to go out and I'm going to play my hardest that's the one and only thing I can guarantee- beasley

if he really believes this and just concentrates on his effort level, then i think he will really have turned a corner, really hope he has a good season

Watching Beasley is awkward. His game isn't smooth at all. It's like he's ALMOST skillful. Has a SUPER ugly jump shot, where both his elbows flair out. I don't know, I just don't enjoy watching him. I hate his game, I hate his face ... lol, just don't like him.

Easy, just cause a shot goes in doesn't make it aesthetically pleasing. His whole game is awkward. Not smooth at all. I laugh when people used to say LeBron played robotic. LeBron is one of the smoothest players in the league. Beasley is herky jerky as hell out there on the floor. Yea, he's been on a roll lately. But let's be honest, he's getting to put up a lot of shots on a REALLY bad team. And there is no way he's taking them to the playoffs. Hell, I still contend Love is their best, and smartest player. Beasley is like a really, really poor man's Carmelo Anthony. Call him Hobo Melo. Possibly even more stupid than Melo to top things off. haha

Michael Beasley is bound to have a breakout season this year 4 sure. He is gonna all out. He has been working on his game like crazy with some of the members on the T-wolves. To all the Michael Beasley and OnceInADECADE Haters there is still a sit for you all the bandwagon. Look at what Beasley said about the pressure he is going to get.



Yes! Beasley is on Mission to be Great. He has a winning attidue and is a team player! But what I'll really happy about is Beasley willing to wait and not force anything, like on this recent comment.



When asked whether he has a huge cicrle around the Miami Heat on his calendar(Nov 2nd 2010 cough......cough........) He said"I'm going to put a big circle around the whole NBA" WOW!! Like I said Michael Beasley is ready 4 the NBA Season to start. He is going to flat out dominate and try and win as many games for the T-Wolves.

Breakout Season Is In Progress People on the Ish!! Beasley is demanding respect from the League and everybody who doubting him, including Charles Barkley.


Best Wishes to Michael Beasley and the Minneosta Timberwolves. You wanna Hate then Hate, but be prepared:rockon:
