[QUOTE=Swaggin916]Blake will and Blake is better. Both can finish, but Blake is more explosive, and will develop a great faceup game and decent post game... Something Beasley probably won't ever develop. he definitely has the potential to be a good faceup player, but I don't think he does.[/QUOTE]
GTFO with that.

[QUOTE=B-Easy8]Is this a joke? Have you ever watched Beasley play? 90% of his points coming from facing up and driving past pf's or hitting jumpers.
I think they will both be very good but I give Beasley the advantage as he is more skilled.

[QUOTE=plowking]I think a lot of people will be disappointed with Blake next year.
I mean, a lot of people point to his size/strength/athleticism as to why he'll be better than Beasley. Looking at their pre draft measurements, they're pretty much equal across the board. When you take into consideration Beasley did it a year younger, he probably would have had better numbers at the same age (a year after).
Considering Blake isn't as skilled as Beasley, I don't see how he's going to be scoring the ball all that efficiently. He's not going to be pushing guys out of the way and scoring like he did in college.[/QUOTE]
one of the worst posts i've ever read in this forum. do you not understand that most players in the league are very athletic? of course beasley is going to have similar measurements to griffin. why wouldn't he? blake utilizes his athleticism far more than beasley and we've seen that in the summer league and the pre season already.
[QUOTE=plowking]They have the same vertical and 3/4 sprint... Beasley and Griffin that is.[/QUOTE]
:roll: and im sure amare has similar draft measurements as lamarcus aldrige. you're f*cking clueless. measurements don't account for how a player actually plays.

You should work for the Bucks...

wait which 1 is Beasley and which 1 is Blake, they both look like brother from far away:D
Again I think Michael Beasley might become a great player if he's put in the right situation.. But:
Michael Beasley- second pick of the NBA, traded for a second round pick...
Blake Griffin- consensus first pick of the NBA, Nuggets wanted to trade Melo for him
I think Blake Griffin is worth more than a second round pick.. so there's the answer for this thread

I already said they posted similar athletic stats though I think Beasley is going to be better due to being more skilled.
Posters before me were pretty much saying he was going to be a beast because of how athletic he is. Fact is, Beasley is just as athletic.
And no, from a few pre season games and summer league games we don't get the full picture of his athleticism. Beasley has dunked on the likes of Pau and other NBA starters.
Get a clue.
gotta go with blake griffin on this one.
he had as any or more (can't remember) 20 pt 15 board games in college as duncan. one of the most dominant big men to go consensus number one since duncan. they say rebounding is one of the most likely skills to transfer from the college game to the nba too.
22/14 in his 09 season. duncan was a 20/14 guy his senior year at wake forest.
i just think he has the size and skillset to become a consistent 20/10 player very quickly.

Yes VERY skilled.. It takes a lot of skill for a 2nd pick in the NBA to be auctioned off for a bag of potato chips right? What has is skill got him so far?
Beasley has had a bad attitude even before he came to the NBA. That was the knock on him and it came true, with the lack of work ethic and the marijuana situations (from the freaking first rookie day).
I'm glad that Beasley is saying he wants to work hard and do well on the T-Wolves but why hasn't he done it so far? And you can't blame Blake Griffin for getting injured. I don't think you know just how "athletic" he is. He's a lot stronger and more explosive than Beasley was. He also has INSANE handles.. Look at the :35 second mark in this video

Just cause he hasn't played an NBA game doesn't mean he's gona be worth less than a second round pick.. Get your facts straight. Griffin is untouchable.. The Clippers didn't let the Nuggets ask about him even if it included Melo. Beasley was obviously not untouchable... You'll see man

So because a team trades you for basically nothing it means you're not skilled.
I guess Pau Gasol is horrible.

Pau demanded out. They also got Marc Gasol who is not terrible at all.. Also helps to have Jerry West in the middle of things. I usually agree with you Yung D-Will but not this time lol.
Beasley was shipped off in a fire sale.

Where the hell did this notion of Beasley not having a work ethic come from? He practically lived in the gym when he was the heat. Work ethic is no issue or concern with Beasley, all the concern is with his head. Anyway, this discussion won't even be close once Rubio comes over and starts spoon feeding Beasley all night long.

Rubio doesn't want to play for the Timberwolves, or at least from what I've heard.
The concern is in his head, yeah.. But just because he's a gym rat doesn't mean he's always trying to improve and get better. Most of it shows on the court too. Although I agree, his attitude problem is probably why it hasn't translated onto the court.
I've seen Griffin live. He dives all over the court. Fights 3 guys for rebounds. Strips people and dives in the air saving the ball while falling out of bounds. Jumps over scorers tables. In one game I watched he dove over the scorer's table, saved the ball... Jumped back in the game, recieved a pass, and dunked it. The effort and energy from the kid is just insane.
